    That seems overly familiar from a stranger. WTF is he anyway?

    By the way I make a point to use a App to block random texts from numbers not in my contact list. There is way too many randoms that come across and make problems around here. Like "Hi this is me annie again wanna good time? UGH.....

    See spouse get a eyeful of that. We will not be here anymore.

    Going to be A LOT of this going around in the foreseeable future. EVERY carrier is wanting to get there old wore out stuff out of the junk yard and a butt in the seat to take advantage of [mostly] great rates.

    It's going to get disgusting how hiring standards are essentially going to be thrown out the window.

    So Chuck called me back. we got a few drinks, he was already in GA and knew where I lived. So now we're all cuddle up for the night in this pos freightliner I guess. He said I can go home next week. But he also said I could go home after drinks.

    What we did way back in about the very late 90's was purchase two sets of DVD's One held all valid business and 800 numbers for the entire USA for that year anywhere and the other was essentially the entire residential white pages searchable by address etc for that year. I think we invested about maybe 30 dollars annual from staples or office depot back then.

    Used a Rand Streets Map GPS system which was really one of the first generation after Pres Clinton unlocked the Military GPS to improve civie use to 15 feet roughly in late 90 was able to cross reference as well. I remember buying a dell inspiron laptop latest model etc in 2000 for 3200 dollars that year. Paid in a month. Compared to what laptops and my desktops are doing now dell made off like a bandit. But we were in business.

    Most of the time for example midnight looking for Tyler Texas Walmart DC, we passed a walmart super center. Parked. Got GPS address, used into staples business DVD reference business, pulled local store number called night manager answered. We asked her where is her DC? As were truckers delivering for their area.

    There was this pause and a moment and then "HELL THE NUMBER IS NOT etc etc etc..." we smoothed her feathers and it turned out to be about 4 miles roughly as the crow flies getting directions. All we needed was a physical address of it and put that in and on our way.

    What a life that was
