No, landline isn't going away.  More and more fiber is being laid every day.

Why?

Because the 'landline' that people claim is going away... *IS* a basic part of the internet backbone.  It's what gets our YouTube off the Google servers worldwide and into our living rooms.  Unless you have nothing else but a cell phone, you have a 'landline'.

Whew!  Glad to hear that. 

Because if our landline goes away, so does our cable and our internet connection, and that would be most unfortunate!   ^-^
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Have you ever BEEN to Kansas??  I'm kinda glad I'm not there, aren't you?  :dx1:

HA!  Well, it's still funny, even though I stepped on your laugh line.

Didn't he free-lance author rape fantasies for $50 a pop for some smut rag back in the '70s?

Ha!

Not sure, but I think the first verifiable gig in his CV was mayor of hippie enclave Burlington, Vermont in the early 80s.  He was in his early 40s at that point.

We are certainly living in "interesting times" that some Socialist who honeymooned in the Soviet Union in 1988 and considers Eugene Debs as one of his heroes would be one of the contenders for the Democrat nomination.

Bernie from his earlier days on a picket line:


By Katherine SkibaContact Reporter
Chicago Tribune

A Chicago Tribune archival photo of a young man being arrested in 1963 at a South Side protest is Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, his campaign has confirmed, bolstering the candidate's narrative about his civil rights activism.

The black-and-white photo shows a 21-year-old Sanders, then a University of Chicago student, being taken by Chicago police toward a police wagon. An acetate negative of the photo was found in the Tribune's archives, said Marianne Mather, a Chicago Tribune photo editor.

"Bernie identified it himself," said Tad Devine, a senior adviser to the campaign, adding that Sanders looked at a digital image of the photo. "He looked at it — he actually has his student ID from the University of Chicago in his wallet — and he said, 'Yes, that indeed is (me).'" Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, was traveling Friday near Reno, Nev., on the eve of the state's Democratic presidential caucuses.

Sanders was arrested Aug. 12, 1963, and charged with resisting arrest. He was found guilty and fined $25, according to a Tribune story about the protests.
