WOOT!  Bellsouth called up yesterday and asked if we wanted it.  Mrs. West was dubious because we live out in the boonies and we've never been able to get it before.  But they confirmed that our number was served.  

No more dialup for me!

Welcome to 1997 August!

Pretty soon you'll be able to buy movies on a little disc like CDs - but for MOVIES!  They call them DVDs.  They are awesome.

I don't want to spoil anything else for you.

Yeah, yeah.  It's been a trade off we consciously made.  I knew I'd have to wait longer for my internet pron to load, but the peace, quiet and beautiful scenery has made up for it.  And now my long dark night is over.

Damn, dude, first you go and upgrade your PC situation and now you're going for the big pipe.  You're just all screwing up my Kentucky archetypes.  Go build a still or deworm a cow or something as penance.


i'm about  "-- > < --" that close to DOWNGRADING to a cyrix (k6-2/pentium-mmx era) Compaq.  i dialup at home, but am about to cancel my phone line, necessitating my research into TCP/IP over Smoke Signals.

and given that Kentucky is 9 places above in terms of "state health", may i offer you an alternative hickville archetype:

"Tennessee: Hey! We have Borboun Too! Most of the hosss, though, We had to Eat.  Ya'll want some bbq? Mmmmmm, good eatin'!  We have grass too, it just ain't blue is all."
