Jim:
My apologies, we have been without a home phone for the past day and a
half.
Verizon was doing some work up the street and managed to cut their
lines for this entire zip code.
They did this without alerting the subscribers in the area. Looks like
we are without phones until this Saturday, best estimate I could get
from them. Folks around here are hopping mad.
That and the cell service in this area isn't the greatest. Spotty at
best.
Things are on hold for the moment.
Is it okay if I call you early next week from the land line, assuming
they have service restored by then.
Sorry for the delay.
Thanks again!
