Around here Verizon wants you to pay to replace your battery when it dies. The price is about the same price as a UPS...

We use the UPS to keep the Internet going. Satellite router and WiFi router.

I miss regional codes.

When I was a teen, my friends in villages (all my friends bar one) had four figure numbers, with a three figure local code. Haddenham - as far as I recall - was 953. I can't remember the code for Winslow, where my best friend lived, as it merged into the number in a splendid way - my memory suggests something like 997. Dyscalculia, pah.
