Nor will we.  I'm not that unhappy about it but do get tired of trying to 
explain to folks that not all of California has DSL or satellite phone 
service.  Or trying explaining to companies that you don't have a physical 
address.  You don't know how many times I've heard "but you're in 
California."

Verizon "owns" the "island" we live in.  They haven't done a thing to update 
anything since 1970.  It is a miracle that the phone lines work at all!  On 
our road 3 of the poles that hold the connections if folks should move onto 
various pieces of land are down and one of the junction boxes is smashed 
over.  They've been that way for years and the answer is "we'll schedule 
someone to fix them."  In the next century is my guess.

In the meantime, I don't watch any video clips.
