And with all the vacant houses in forclosure, I can see this happening more and more. Batten down the hatches!!! It's starting to become a bumpy ride.

A week or so ago in a different town, the police found lots of telephone lines in an out building at someones house they were investigating for copper theft. They arrested them. Hopefully they were the ones who took our lines. West Virginia He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
