Here in the Midwest, we are (sic) serviced by Qwest formerly US West or as

one of their tech types put it US Waste.

We haven't been hit but other state agencies have been. We get the heat

from

the tech types for the state that complain about the 24 hour operations

(dispatch centers) but not about where the viruses are originating. They

have been sent in from the outside. It is obvious that they don't update

their virus software. But we get the grief. What's up with that?

One of the local FBI agents we work had an occasion to head down a freshly

paved road and buried his squad car up to the axles in fresh cement. There

were signs and flaggers, but to no avail, down the road he went...for a

ways

that is. I guess you could see the tracks where he started and the

" finished product, " where he ended. Rumor has it that he told the road

crew at the scene that he was in pursuit.
