No, the cows are theirs, we aren't that big - no milking parlour here. Lil Fred's (aka Matthew) grandfather and my mother are cousins. The Whites pretty much either farm or work in farm related jobs.
I know the pain of dial-up and am happy to be on DSL, slow by comparison to others, but way faster than the old dial-up! I think the phone company got a grant to upgrade the rural areas around here. My older daughter, who lives on a dirt road, just got it this summer and we've had it for about a year and a half. Makes my computer life much easier!
