A
landline telephone is important to me because I don’t hear well on a cell
phone. When the house phone here quit working, AT&T’s repair person gave me
bad news: repairs would take a few days.
Much to my
surprise, a backhoe and crew of four arrived the next morning to make repairs.
As the backhoe set to work my suspicion that Galveston is made entirely of sand
was confirmed.
I was
astonished when the hole began to fill with water. To a drought-hardened Kansan, the
notion that a water table could be so close to the surface was almost
unbelievable.
Gee whiz!
The phone
line was repaired before noon.
