It's not too bad, as long as I don't have too many multiple cigar and multiple beer nights! Also, out here on the island we don't have cars. We get around by walking or riding bicycles. I probably only ride a mile or two a day, but I guess every little bit helps.

We complain about still having dial-up internet service. They ran fiber through here over a year ago.
The Marshallese over on Ebye already have DSL* service. Our buraucracy keeps us on the dial-up with no hope in sight... yet.

I guess you probably didn't even have a phone back when you were here.


And, it's not as happy a place as it used to be. (I got here in 2005.)

U.S. BUDGET CUTS FOREBODE JOB LOSSES ON KWAJALEIN
Marshalls missile test site expects 13 percent budget cut

"... a continuation of several years of cutbacks in spending at the Kwajalein base."





* about the DSL - When the fiber got here, I told a friend back in Texas, "Hey, I might get DSL soon." He said, "DSL? What's that?" Then he said, "Oh wait... yeah, DSL. We had that back in the 90's"
