Perched atop a hill some miles east of Willcox (on I-10) too close to the highway and with a stiff breeze, I was on schedule to arrive Albuquerque to spend a week with Ms. Cook celebrating our 31st anniversary. The forecast was for rain.
But the heartbreak of shingles was too much. Between the fatigue and the pain, I could barely get up to attend to morning bidness...there was no way I was gonna do justice on the dance floor or on the deck of our yacht at the forthcoming Elephant Butte Cup. So, after cancelling the reservations and invoking nomad logic (Ah ain't been thar!), I went north to Safford.
Thatcher and Safford are contiguous like Colorado Springs and Denver...but smaller.

Once I realized the deal, I put a lot of effort into returning it.
But Verizon has more caveat's than a car salesman.

Verizon has us roped in for 30 more months for three "free phones." They do take purty pictures.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about your shingles. Not fun. My dad had them bad. We were in Wilcox in February. Cochise Stronghold was on my list.
Verizon seems to have the best coverage except for a few places in Idaho and in the Northwest.
DeleteGood to see you back!
