Obnoxious phone calls

I swear I am tempted to vote _against_ the last campaign to call me with a canned message. Or maybe the one with the highest call count. And they are offensive calls, almost totally negative. (When I listen long enough to rate the content, that is. Should leave the phone hanging, to tie up their damned lines....)

If the Bush and Kerry camps were individuals, I'd be able to get a court order against them for harassment. Don't know about other areas, but we are averaging several calls a day, a royal PITA.

How to win friends and influence people. NOT!

Must be a factor of Life in the Big City. Even the phone company can't find beautiful East Winslow?

Uhhh....
well during the ice storm of a few years back it turned out that phone company and CMP had misplaced a pole ... and that wrong pole number had them assuming us about 4 miles from here, on another road entire (you know how it is in Maine -- there are six roads claiming at one point or another to be "The Waterville Road" and off several of those roads are roads calling themselves Albion Rd... not to mention several roads calling themselves Quaker Hill Rd... so that it's possible to have a location at the intersection of Quaker Hill Rd and Quaker Hill Rd, a half-mile east from the Albion Rd, just before the west turnoff to Albion Rd....)

We *think* they know where we are now, since they had a guy out here with GPS equipment walking pole to pole on our road not long ago.

Yeah, I know how Maine roads are. Does your road at least have the same name on each end? At least three of them around here don't....
