Comment Re:Yeah, but... (Score 1) 342

I was thinking it was a take off from Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant:

"...And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints and the only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say: Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's restaurant. And walk out.

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him.

And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization.

And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement."

Comment Monticello needs to talk to Bristol, Va Utilities (Score 1) 681

I live in Abingdon, VA. Recently, BVU extended their fiber to the house (FTTH) into my neighborhood. I was the first to have it installed on my street.

10MB service @ $55 monthly after all taxes have been applied. They are competing against Comcast & Embarq (two of my previous ISPs) and Charter & Verizon, and lastly the City of Abingdon itself (both paid fiber and free wireless).

Since I live on the edge of town, I am just outside the Abingdon Wireless Mesh reach, so technically it is not available to me, nor are there any plans to make the eva fiber available any time soon.

Additionally, 3g from Verizon & others are available in the area, depending on which side of which mountain you are in.
