Re: [Amc-list] semi OT: new toy from Hades

A special bus?
Must be fer getting down deep into the holler?
Prolly one of those old International buses with the 401 and Jeep drivetrain to ford the crick in the botum of that holler!!

I just hate the new way everyone is doing business/
One D**n 800 number with no way to contact local facilites! I got a call fromk Charleston and they left the number for there. When I called back and before I got the nice lady I got three different tranfers and twice was asked, "Who told you to call this number"!!!  When I mentioned the woman who called had not left a name they seemed even more agitated. 

Comcast is the same way, Their local office is literaly  2/10's of a mile from here. Yet I have to call the 800 number and talk to someone in Georgia to explain a problem!
