That's so true! Even as recently as 1999, in my first year of Fan Forum, I can remember going on vacation and saying that I was going to miss being able to post here, because I just a had a Desktop Computer then with a dial-up modem, and of course I had no smart phone or laptop or anything like that, because either they weren't invented yet or they were in their infancy.

You're welcome! I really did want to text you to see if you and your family were okay, but I was dead in the water. We drove to our local T-Mobile office that night because we thought that there was something wrong with our phones but when we got there, they said the tower was down.

It's miserably hot and humid here. We're having Summer-like weather and it's only early May.
