[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 22448, member: 39"] We got electricity before I was born but it was after WWII. We were still on party lines till the mid-late ‘80s. I think about my dad growing up like those for centuries before him, farming with a team, coal oil lamps, no phone or running water or electricity. It’s amazing how times have changed in one generation. He still remembers the whole country without any paved roads. Here we are now with satellite internet access (no high-speed or cable out here and the copper won’t support but about 7,000bps because the old party line infrastructure is still used), etc. Our gas man let us run out the other day and I had to stop and remind myself not to get mad. For crying out loud, going without hot water for one morning and it was tempting to think how bad it was. We’re blessed, that’s for sure. Enough rambling for now… Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
