Well, the title is a bit of an exaggeration, but this morning, the heavy-weight hauler truck in photo below blocked the highway in front of me. The rain had made the windshield clean, so I snapped a photo with my old cellphone (see note below photo).
This looks like a fiber-glass mobile home module, but on the unseen end is a hatch about 3 feet in diameter with heavy bolts all the way around it. Note the wheels on the trailer. This is not a light load. Anybody have an idea what this "monster" really is? [[[ My wife's BIL had just watched a video on building a large wind generator. He recognized the thing as the generator for a wind turbine. What I thought was a hatch was actually a hub to bolt on the blades..Sept 27, 2015.]]]]
Now, a note about our cellphones. As old readers may have noticed, AT&T users in the Winner area had a mess of problems with AT&T right after they took over Altel here. But, for the last few years, we haven't had much to complain about....until a local political issue involving our school board and an insane fourth gym scheme put a load of time on the phones....ooops. Some rather large bills with our old plan sort of transmogrified from Altel to AT&T. It was time to check into new cellphone plans even if I am satisfied with our "ancient" flip phones. After about 30 minutes on the phone with a nice and very patient lady in the AT&T system, we have a new plan. It is one other users might want to check on if they like us have blithely stayed on an old plan.
The new plan is called something like "mobile basic share plan". The charge before infernal taxes is $40 for first phone and $20 for each additional basic phone. This provides unlimited talk and text on all phones. An additional charge of $30 put all 3 phones sharing 2 gigabytes of data transmission. Get the info straight from AT&T.
So after jabbing AT&T with a sharp stick for sometime, I am now giving them a free plug. The cellphones of any company provide a measure of safety and convenience not available with landlines which serve similar functions better for fixed locations. Most of you are probably way ahead of me on this, but whatever...........
