miffed......

ok, so i was going through my usual routine this morning.....putting the coffee on letting the dog out, walking to the box to get the newspaper (lexheraldleader)......when i glimpsed the frontpage enalrged color photograph.......and was immediately overcome by a swell of anger.....the story was focused on the continuing movement of illegals over the southern border....in lonely desert areas sometimes within sight of border patrols....and 2 illegals were pictured as they waited a signal to come across......but it was not the illegals that made my blood boil......it was the guy on the right (as pictured) talking on his cell phone......in the desert........and that really pisses me off......given that i cannot use my cellphone in the comfort of my own home because there is unreliaable coverage in this particular spot.......sometimes a call will come through, sometimes a missed call message pops up on the screen without so much as a ring......but mostly there are no bars and no calls can be made until the caller walks up toward the mailbox.......not that i rely on my cell at home....i usually turn it off.......this situation only really bothers me when i want to make a long distance call using my calling plan for free longdistance...and the phone numbers stored in my phone that are not on my landline phone.....which is old and holds only 10 numbers.......so what does it take to have good cell service in the middle of america?.......how many cell towers looking presumably like tall cacti must they have along the 2000 miles of southern border to allow for better service?.........these are the real issues at hand........not the illegals.......these folks are not coming to america to take our jobs....they only fill the slots that we ourselves feel are beneath us to do.......the hard, risky backbreaking labor.......and in this area of horsefarms and tobacco fields.......the economy depends upon them.....so lets not pretend that our disdain for this workforce is one of justice and following the rules........
