Our municipal electric company wants to provide fiberoptic to each home in the area, with the capacity for higih speed internet, telephone, TV, etc. Of course, the cable companies are adamantly opposed to the plan. The cable companies have filed suit to prevent this from happening. I'm not 100% sure where things are right now, but the power company is continuing installing the fiberoptic line. The local municipalities are talking about it.
Today, the cable company got out the big guns. I've seen three different commercials on TV full of scare tactics against the electric company's plan. They sound just like those Republican commercials back in the 1990s, against the Clinton health care plan, with the fictitious couple, Harry and Louise. It's always interesting. Needless to say, John will be first in line to sign up for the fiberoptic service, when and if it is available.
Our usual Thursday lunch place was closed today, so we had to find another place. The lunch isn't the important part - it's the get-together with this wild bunch of crazies. We do laugh a lot.
I've finally downloaded Margaret's photos from the wedding events into the computer, so I'll be posting them from time to time. Today is one of the newlyweds.
