This is crazy....

It's 95°F at 5:00PM CDT here in NW Alabama....can you imagine how hot it would be at some southern border to Mexico? And there in there for hours with no water? No wonder some die in the process.

When caught and if convicted the the smugglers should be placed in there and taken on a 4 or 5 hour trip along I-10 between Phoenix, AZ and Indio, CA between 2PM and 6PM in July or August....with no water. FWIW, it's a perfect 102°F at both those locations at this moment....perfect for deep-frying human traffickers. :angry:

The past two days we've had a crew installing fibre internet in the subdivision. Most of the crew are of latino descent. Friday & Saturday here we had a high of 96, with a heat index of 110.
Most of the crew were wearing long sleeve shirts. None of them were perspiring. They were doing a lot of hand digging with shovels. They were continually out in the heat from 7:30am to approx 6pm. This gringo would have melted and had to have been scrapped up off the ground.

Will you be getting it or ????
If so, is this a step-up for you?

We got our 1GB down/up fiber with static, public IP in Sept. of '22 and man, it's been great....rock steady, too.

Of course, just about anything would be an "upgrade" to what we had....akin to 2 Dixie cups and a string! :lol:

Yes, I will be getting it after 4 yrs of delays. It's small privately held company and can't wait to get away from the horribly expensive Astound mega crapola.
At&t put in fibre at the end of our street, but they won't come up any further with it, so screw em.

Oh, you are so very right. Maybe 1 out of maybe a thousand would have. I hate to say it but I have a 22 year old step-granddaughter that would likely consider it a career goal TODAY. :confused:
