Gee Whiz!


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.
