Thanks for the comments, Ranger.
We have been here three weeks now and just found the time to get DSL and check this post.
Someone commented Medford is pronounced Methford. The telephone guy who hooked us up told me that some meth freaks in Grants Pass have broken into stores that stock the materials they need and disable the alarm system's monitoring service by knocking over the large box on the sidewalk containing the areas common telephone lines and cutting the cables.
Anyway we are in a quiet subdivision on 2.5 acres and our alarm system will be installed tomorrow. We will have the cellular back up option to alert the monitoring office should the bad boys cut our telephone line which is now mounted on the outside of the garage. The phone company declined to move the box inside the garage. I might have a metal shop fabricate a sturdy box to cover the connection later on and still keep the cellular back up.
So far, so good.
I have some hard views on drug addiction. It is not a disease. You get 1 or 2 chances to clean up after you get arrested. After that............... well, you really don't want to know if you are squeamish.
