More Phone Calls

Well, it was nice and peaceful while the phone wasn't working. Now we'll get lots of calls again. Or should I say tomorrow night we'll get lots of calls again. When Ellyn is gone, the phone rings less often. Bruce and I ended up in the Nate Saint house attic, checking things out. Turns out the terminal block looked OK, but still nothing at the house. Of course the terminal block was corroded as usual. We can't figure out why it gets that way. Things do rust and corrode easily in this wet and humid environment, but under the metal roof in the attic should be a warm and dry place. On a sunny day, that attic is a very hot place! There was also one large ant on a wire. The last time I was up there, I found five or six ants crawling on it or dead and stuck to it. Not sure what attracts the ants to that particular spot. When we finally tracked it down, it turns out the phone wasn't working because I had plugged the phone line into the network port on Ellyn's computer, not the modem port. Oops!
