The Red Brick Times

I'm moving out of my cave into a new place. With windows. Porch. Space. Two bedrooms. Any of you who still use the USPS, my new address as of 11/21/06 is 403 Oxford Avenue (Elyria, Ohio, 44035) and the phone's the same. Drop a line. I'll wash the mailbox.

Cleveland St will never be the same. The Phantom of the Doctor's office has left the building.

Mr ralph! Mr. ralph! Do you need turkeys to help you relocate? I can volunteer if you like. Strong back, weak mind, will travel.

I've been moving over a trip or two each day. Tomorrow (21st) 2 men and a Truck are taking the big things They're due between 8-9 a.m. and I'll spend the rest of the day moving more small stuff, maybe cleaning a bit, see how it goes. If you're looking for excitement, sure stop on by, though exactly what time I'll be where is hard to say. Thanks for the offer anyway.

I can report that Ralph's new place is windowed and cheerful with porch space and possibilities for plants. Avast improvement over the "cave of darkness".

Ralph - You mentioned the phone company was giving you lots of grief. How is that going? Did you get to keep your same number?

He told me that the new company, "Windbrain" or "Windsock" that bought Alltel didn't know their central office from a hole in the ground. The customer disservice people in Idaho were breaking wind, and a new number was required. It's been almost 30 years since I worked for the telco, but the two locations are still wired to two different exchanges. My father worked for them one summer when he was in high school 65 years ago, and the same was true then. The company doesn't care if you have service or not as long as they collect your money every month.
