The Law in Iraq

I spoke with my cousin Ben (The Law) today. He called me from Iraq. It was VERY nice to hear from him since we don't get to communicate on a regular basis. It sounds like he is doing pretty good over there. He has been on a few missions already, and it is his job to protect army convoys. I'm not sure why the Army can't protect themselves but.... He sounds like he is in pretty good spirits, but that something could happen any day. He almost shot someone yesterday, and that was kind of freaky. Anyways, he would really love a Dentist Scrapping tool for cleaning his gun, and not much else he requested.... If anyone reading this knows Ben and wants his address to send him some stuff, just let me know.

No Internet, No Blog.

Obviously right? Still no internet for Bryan in Fairfield. Word on the (dirt) street is that a new provider is coming to town and I won't have to use the evil LiteLink service that I've been forced to use. I'm praying that the new service comes quickly. I would really love to be able to use my Rhapsody account again.....

You Deserve an Explanation

I promise there is a good reason why this blog has remained stagnant for so long. Not necessarily because I haven't wanted to write, but mostly because I live in a rural part of Idaho and my current internet provider, a company called Lite Link is the worst company on the face of the earth. These people have a monopoly on the internet market in Fairfield. Since they are the only people that provide the service, the believe that they can offer crappy service. And they do. I've been without internet for almost 4 weeks now. And since the service provider employees are located in Twin Falls, I have to pay $80 dollars for them to come fix my internet. I have to pay them to get the service I ALREADY PAY FOR working. It is complete BS!! Anyways, there is good news. The good city of Fairfield, ID, headed by their magnificent Mayor David Hanks are here to help. They are putting the finishing touches on a new T1 line for the city. Once the line is complete, and they have the service up and running. I'm personally going to call up Lite Link and tell them what I feel. I'd tell you what I feel right now, but there might be little kids reading.

SOON! Soon there will be posts and pics again. IdahoRocks blog will be back!
