'the hell?

Can you believe that there are places in this country that only have access to dial-up Internet? Can you believe that these parts of the United States of America exist in the same state as New York City.

Oh, I assure you that it's true.

I spent the majority of last week in Barker, New York north of Buffalo at my in-laws where they only had dial. up. Internet.

And get this — a wind storm blew down a tree and with it their phone service.

Yeah, so they didn't even have dial up after that.

Can you imagine?

I had intended on posting pictures of our time enjoying the rural life, but instead I got a taste of what the world was like before the Internet.

Remarkably, I didn't miss it much.

But now I'm back with a ton of pictures and some great stories to tell so stay tuned.
