-> You'd be amazed by the "pops, crackles, or hums" our telco
has delivered. I
-> once called next door, to the same structure of our duplexes, and dad's phone
-> didn't even *ring*! (Yes I redialed a few times.)

 Yuo should have heard my Phone yesterday. The Crackling was so bad yuo
couldn't hear the caller. But of course here in Sunny Southern
California we have a Unsualy Rain Storm for the area. Should have seen
the Clowns o nthe Freeway. Almost NO one here knows how to drive in
Heavy Rain. People were Hydroplaning off the roads regualrly. :-)
In fact on Wednesday a local TV news reporter was doing a report
standing beside the Freeway, Actualy a stupid move here as the drivers
requalrly clip people on the side of the freeways, and the camera caught
a car behind her going through a puddle and changing lanes and almost
spinning out because of hydroplaning..
