Re: Yes we have telephones and flush toilets!

His question was valid for some sections of the country. When we
moved to our new address, it took two months to get the US Post Office
to deliver mail here. The road we live on was not on current maps,
and
UPS and Fed Ex had no way except to call us for directions. We had no
phone service at that time.......
As a result, we had to have US mail by "general delivery" and drive
into
the nearest town with a post office. Same for UPS and Fed Ex.

Everything here has fallen into place and we are now linked with
civilization, internet and all ( gawrssh ! ) .

It all depends on how far out in the boondocks you are. If you
were
on an island or on top of a mountain, I doubt that UPS would
accommodate you.... I KNOW the USPS wouldn't.......Lots of people
are in that position in the continental US....

I wonder where you are located that prompted your brother to
ask such a question.....
