One of my favorite college news papers, Karl Swingle introduced me to the onion. Now my hero Dan Brose, has sent me an article. Dan I hope it's okay that i posted this... it's all good fun right...
Related to this article, the actual phone network here is so oversubscribed, that I can make phone calls now between 6am and 8am, at noon, and sometimes late at night. Nobody seems to be able to make calls or send texts, and there is nothing we can do about it. Some of my friends here, have thrown their phones, some choose to not look at their phone anymore, and the rest of us, vent about how the communication is absurd. I'll let you know if the service gets better. The positives, internet still works. we've got dial up capacity.

U.S. Intelligence: Burundi May Be Developing Telephone
JULY 10, 2008 ISSUE 44•28
WASHINGTON—According to a report released by the Pentagon, evidence suggests that the small Central African nation of Burundi may be developing a telephone, and
experts warn the country could be just 10 years away from achieving a dial tone. "If Burundi's telephone has long-distance capabilities, it will be possible for them to reach
the continental United States and parts of Canada with just the push of several buttons," CIA spokesman Richard Caburn said. "Thankfully, we possess advanced caller ID
technology, so if they ever decide to call, we will be prepared." The Pentagon has mailed Burundi a letter asking them to end their communications program immediately,
and has not ruled out the option of a preemptive nuclear strike on the nation.

Hey Seth, I think that you can quote me on almost 50% of what I say! And I've forgotten the other half, so it probably wasn't important anyway. No ... I'm all for living life as an open book, just like your life there in Burundi. Ask Tambry to tell you about the email she got from a mobile telephone in Burundi ... it is all proof that Burundi has developed its telecommunication capabilities way beyond what the CIA and Pentagon are aware of! Get ready for the preemptive strike ... your friend, Dan.
