Yeah. And I read the whole damn book while I was home hauling out, you know, like ten-gallon buckets of, of water and waiting for the roof to collapse and, reading about these guys wearing their little free man still suits Uh-huh, you're reading DUNE. and, I think that's probably my favorite of, of any piece of science...
Yeah, and if you were trying to follow any type of, uh, plot, it, it even having read the book, and I've read that book probably three times, watching that movie, I couldn't figure out, what they were talking about, at all. Uh-huh. Couldn't, Yeah. I was real disappointed in that. Well, I'll tell you another good book, ...
Yeah. I mean the book is, is chilling. Yeah, I have, Just chilling. no, uh, I don't have the foggiest notion what it's about, so. Then I won't tell you. Okay, yeah But, It's just that if you're ever, ever really want to just be scared out of your wits, Uh-huh, that's the one. That's the one. Yes. Even better than JAWS ...
And you're just drawn into his, his horror, of him that you, begin to kind of like him. Yeah. Oh. I mean, A, a Freddy Kruger type, huh? No, no. This guy's smart and he's suave and he's all the all the, characteristics, Oh the worst kind, yeah, yeah. yeah, all the characteristics ... Okay. All right. Um, I, I understand...
Yes, all, all young Americans, they did not specify, you know, exactly what young means. Yeah, yeah. I think that it probably would be a, a good program. I think probably two years is too long. Yeah. I think maybe a year would be, the longest. Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right, two years might be a little too long. Yea...
Uh-huh. Yeah, or maybe offer them, you know, some sort of an incentive to do it. Uh, you know college credit, you know, something, you know, Yeah. Right. I'm not sure what but, Right. College credit is a good idea because, I'm not sure they need to be, you know, paid, you know, a super do salary of any kind. Right. but...
I don't think so either because a lot of people, um, depending on how the public service programs are set up and I'm not that familiar with them to know, I'm not either really. But, you know, if, a, a lot of people flat can't afford to. That's right. You know, That's right. and most kids these days have gotten themselv...
and that would upset a lot of people too, because they just want to get on, Uh-huh, it sure would. It would have to be a lot of, you know, thought given to something like that, I would think. Yeah. I, you know, I think it would be good for a lot of people to get involved in that kind of program, Uh-huh. but I, I think ...
and you've a choice of where you want to go. Yeah. and, and that way, handling it that way they could probably get some results out of it. Yeah, like maybe if, if there was something they could do in their own, own, in their own town or city, yeah, and not have to pull up roots and, you know, go somewhere half way arou...
And, you wonder, you know, what kind of quality job would they do, you know, Just sit around for their year, Right. or would they really, you know, make a contribution of some kind. Right, exactly. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. Yeah, it is tough. It's, and I don't know who's even proposing it, or, or how they plan on i...
You know, it be, it wouldn't take up much, much, it would take up more time than anything but it wouldn't take up a lot of money. Yeah. They wouldn't have to spend money advertising and things like that. Yeah. That's right. You go to school and you have a kind of a captive audience, get them all in the auditorium, Yeah...
Yeah, it is. It really is. I don't really see the emphasis on things like Peace Corps, like we, you know, we saw back, I guess, in the Carter administration, Right. that was, that was a big thing with him. Yeah, yeah. And, I guess even back to Kennedy, as a matter of fact, I guess Kennedy may be the one that actually s...
Sure, same here. Okay, take care. you too. Bye-bye. Bye. Well, how about you. Do you use P C Oh constantly. Yeah. You and me both. It seems everything I do is computer related. Huh-uh. And if it goes down, then we're stuck all day. Yeah. And so I like the I B M P C, personally. Huh-uh. But that's pretty much everything...
Yeah. What do you use? Well, I have an, I, I B M P S two, model thirty. Yeah. It's kind of, kind of getting too slow for me, but my job, I'm an E D P auditor, so I audit, uh, computer applications both on the personal computer and the mainframe level. Oh, huh-uh. And I use my personal computer constantly, not only do I...
And, um, you know, every now and then the file gets so big, that, you know, it moves slower than I'd like Huh-uh. but I, uh, I do mainly graphic work on it. And, uh, a little bit of word processing and then lotus applications to it. Huh-uh. Yeah. And, uh, I don't know, I just, I enjoy working with them. Yeah There's so...
And I need to keep that going and, So, I, I'm, I couldn't live my life without a P C. Huh-uh. I don't have one at home, We have one at home, but I just don't find the time that I can use it. Yeah. Right now I would rather not have one at home, because I would work at home. Yes. Um, we've got a couple of portable lap to...
Yeah. And oh, I, we use a lot of free lance. Huh-uh. And, uh, that's, uh, pretty much takes up a lot of our day so for as producing transparencies and things. Yeah. And, um, it, uh, compared to the way the things have upgraded, Have, uh, really, Right. what's the word I'm looking for, I'm just totally drawing a blank B...
We think about that a lot. Yeah Well, that's what I do. We had a printer, a Hewlett Packard Ready Writer. Huh-uh. And we had about ten people sharing this printer by, it was attached to like a central P C and you had to take your diskette to the P C to print something. Um, now that's awful. So the first thing has when ...
Oh, yes. And that was a major ordeal to get him to buy it. But once he bought it, he has been so pleased. It's, it's fast, it's quite, oh, it has good copy. Right. The copy that you can with one of those as compared to one of those dot matrix printers. Yeah. I've got a little, little, uh, I B M Pro Printer on my desk, ...
and, uh, They have gotten really cheap. Hewlett Packard makes, it's actually a dot matrix printer Huh-uh. but the quality is almost laser quality. Oh, huh-uh. And I think it's called the desk jet and they're, you understand, I think they're about five hundred dollars now. And we, uh, got a quote on some laser printers ...
So that's all you need for like charts and stuff. You don't need them in four colors. No, huh-uh. If it was a customer presentation then that would be different. Yeah. We would want to razzle-dazzle a bit. But, uh, it's, uh, yeah. We have one in the office and if we want, well in our area, if we want to use it, we have...
I know, I understand. That was, I was amazed when I came to work, I worked at the, uh, well, it used to be the largest bank in San Antonio until N C N B came up and bought the rival and now N C N B. And now N C N B's got a little larger market share, Huh-uh. but it's the only, uh, well, it's part of the bank holding co...
yeah. We're pushing real hard though. We're, we're trying, well, see, the entire bank is not like that. We, the, the bank philosophy is one of innovation and, Lead the market. Huh-uh. It's just the audit department happened to be just a little behind the times because the, uh, the senior vice president, over audits, is...
Yeah. Unfortunately, the, the, uh, computer equipment and, and related peripherals are changing and improving so rapidly, like for instance, we bought a have ... Okay. Okay, that made a nice ugly sound. So, Your name is Lynn? Linda. Linda. Uh-huh. So, sounds like you like to read. Yeah, I read quite a bit, probably don...
so most of my books are, um, I guess what you'd call self improvement type of books. That what I've been reading lately a lot of. Um, my interests switch around dramatically. I used to read just, mainly fiction, and now I, like a said, I've read a lot of self, self help books. Uh-huh. What kind of things have you read?...
Well, um probably the best one that I, I know of and I work with all the time is called SEARCH FOR SIGNIFICANCE by Robert McGee Um, that sounds good. Uh-huh. and it's one that we use in our work. It's probably one you'd find in like a Christian book store. I don't know what the chains are down there. Maybe in the mall ...
Oh, I would imagine helping them feel good about themselves they're at a bad stage anyway, and then to have to deal with sexual abuse would be terrible, as a teen. Uh-huh. That's, uh, that must be a wonderful feeling to be in that profession and be able to make a contribution like that. Well, sometimes it's rewarding, ...
my oldest daughter had to read LOST HORIZONS for her English class, Uh-huh. And I just realized I had never read it growing up. So, I just finished reading that for enjoyment. Um, that's neat. And it it was good. Um, she, she's not, didn't enjoy it much, so I didn't get much satisfaction trying to discuss it with her. ...
Yeah, I've got a stack next to my bed So do I. I tend to get a little bit of ways in a book and then I, I get distracted, and, or have to start on another one, it's pretty tough to keep up with. I was trying to think of, I, I've got a copy of THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED but I was trying to think, there's another Scott book...
and, uh, it was of the people from there that said that. His latest book, and I can't recall the name of it, is just excellent, and his whole idea is, we can build a better world if people get involved in good community building projects. And he did, uh, mention Beginning Experience Weekends as one of the, you know, on...
His concepts are so different than what I would have ever dreamed of. I can't think of what his name is right, right off the bat, though. But, uh, they, they were fun. They were real just books for fun. Uh-huh Have you been involved on the Switchboard long? Um, not very long. I really just started. Uh-huh. How did you ...
Uh-huh. So, I keep getting stacks of books I need to read, and, I don't know when I'm going to get to them all. Never, never there's never going to be enough hours in the day. I don't think so. Even if you took speed reading. Huh. Yeah, I don't think so. So, well, I'm trying to think of what other kind. Do you like to ...
I think the last novel I read I read, I guess, in conjunction with my wife over vacation last year. It was a, um, last name's , it's called PIERCING, no, it's called THIS PRESENT DARKNESS. Um. It's, uh, kind of unusual book. It's a lot about spiritual warfare and some things like that. Oh that sounds interesting. like ...
Yeah, nice talking to you, Linda. And, uh, I'll have to check out that book you, told me about. Okay, great. Okay, Hope you like you it. Thank you. Uh-huh. You take care. You, too. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, Deanna, uh, on capital punishment in our state, they give the death penalty for shooting of a policeman, Uh-huh. an...
But. How do what do you think about it. I think it's justified. Yeah, yeah. Very much so. I agree, I, I, agree, you know, I, I think it should be in other cases other than just shooting a policeman Yeah, oh, I do too, I do too. I mean, I think they're doing their duty, but I think if they're going to come out and kill ...
it was in our, in our little local paper, our little Lewisville paper that comes out twice a week on the front page every week, uh, there's a little thing at the bottom it's like a call in survey that says, you know, do you think so and so, and then you call this number and you press like one for yes and two for no. Ri...
Uh-huh And he said he's had his house broken into and windows smashed and his car stolen three times and everything, trying to keep him quiet, Uh-huh but he's organizing people, and they're going out and marching on the corners and taking back their territory You know, I think that's what it's going to take, though. I ...
That's right, that's right. And it said they're going to other neighborhoods from there, Uh-huh. and then quite often they'll get shot, because they're horning in on somebody else's territory. Uh. That's right, that's right, uh. I think they said forty-one had been shot out of one church in the last year. Oh my gosh. T...
I mean it Well it goes all through the it goes all through the state supreme court system before they're, Right, right, by the time it gets there and they've been convicted and then they've been sentenced to death, they're sure. I mean there's no doubt, I mean, I, Uh-huh, then it should happen, yeah. there can be no sh...
but gosh, you know, we're keeping, you know we're, we're keeping these men in prison for fifteen or twenty years on death row, and not doing anything with them, Uh-huh, that's right. and it's costing us a heck of a lot of money and that's terrible to look at it that way, but. Yeah it is, I know but that, that's the way...
So the governor backed down and I was so mad. Oh, man. The crime was horrible, his crime was just horrible Yeah, and those kind of people, I'm sorry, you don't reform them, you know, No, I don't think, I really you don't. Huh-uh. If they're the kind of people that commit these excuse me, grotesque crimes and have done ...
Well, if you're insane enough that you can go cut twelve people up into little bitty pieces and bury them in your back yard, then are can, can you be helped, you know, I have, I have my doubts, you know. That's right, yeah, yeah, I do too. I, you know, I don't know, I think there's a point, some of these plea bargains ...
My daughter, my daughter lives down in Rowlett Yeah. and she was telling me about it. Oh really. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I can't remember what the town was, some little area. We've had several here lately and, it, there were several of them in North Dallas and then it started kind of happening a couple of places in South Dalla...
that is happened, I hadn't heard about that. I think there's been, I think there's been like six or seven of them, over the last like probably eight or nine months. Gosh. They don't kill them? They just They don't kill them, no. Gosh. They've and they're all like, um, like anywhere from nine to twelve years old, I thin...
you wouldn't even dare put these signs in the little emblems in the window saying child in this room, in case of fire, you know. Have you seen those? I, you know, I've got one of those in Brian's room. Yeah. I never even thought about that. God, maybe I'll take it out. Yeah I hadn't even thought about it That's terribl...
and the boys were gone and the back fence was open. Oh, gosh, oh gosh. , you know. Yeah. And she didn't act like it bothered her at all, oh, this happens all the time. And we walked through the fence out, the alleys, come to the back of the house, you know. Uh-huh, yeah. And and I looked down both directions of the all...
Gee. and he, you know, I don't know, I know. Parents around here just let their kids run everywhere, and I just can't do that. Yeah, there was a little girl picked up in Rowlett from, uh, from her front yard and her dad was working in the back yard, and had just left her few minutes in the front yard and somebody appar...
but it's on the inside, Uh-huh. it's, you know, you'd have to like come over, they'd have to come over the fence, they could not open a gate, you know. Uh-huh. And I still feel a little uneasy about him playing back there. Right, yeah. You know, I mean, if I don't hear him playing, I mean, I, I get up and come out and ...
He could fry. Yes, to put it very bluntly, he could fry, Yeah. yes, yes. Because sometimes there are crimes worse than murder. Right. You know, Yeah. I, and I believe that, and this is one of them. Yeah. Because these little girls will never be the same. Huh-uh, that's terrible. Never be the same, so, I don't know, it'...
it seems like there's no room in jails to put them in jail and when they do put them in there, you know, I'm taking a business law class at night and the guy that teaches it is a practicing criminal attorney and, so he comes in and tell us all these bizarre cases, you know Oh, gosh. and he said you can pretty much, you...
it doesn't, it doesn't. They just get out, you know, there was a thing on, Well what are we going to do about it? How, I mean how can it be changed. Unless the legislature will do something I don't know. and they don't seem to, That's the thing, we're just going to have to adopt a completely different attitude, Uh-huh....
but somewhere we've got to come up with some money to build, to build more, you know, and keep these people in them, you know. Right, I think so. Yeah, I think it would be worth it everybody Well, I was watching a show about this the other night and, you know, they were like in a, I think it was on FORTY-EIGHT HOURS. A...
I don't know, I I don't think our prison system isn't set up, where we, um, rehabilitate, or, you know, restore anybody. I think it'll only make them worse, but, I, I believe that God can come in and change a person's heart and genuinely change it, but, that doesn't negate that you do reap what you sow. And if you do ...
And, I, I worked in a prison in Fort Worth. Did you? Yeah, I have a degree in social work. You see it, you know the ones that have a genuine character change. Uh-huh. It is obvious. And they know that. They're, they're not going to pardon someone from the governor, you know what I'm saying, they're not going to go, wit...
Yeah, that's okay. Uh, that, not all of them are being convicted of it, that, that, the, the, they're not even being charged with that I agree with you that, that, a person's heart can be changed, Uh-huh. but the same God that can work that miracle also established the laws that said, um, for certain kinds of sin, cer...
we definitely have lost the Judeo-Christian ethic of the judicial system for sure, but the the base is still there, the foundation is still there, though, of the system, but, I know what you're saying, uh, but also, they're under a law, because we haven't been removed from the law we've just been taken out from under, ...
I tend to agree on that, very strongly. And that's where we just have to, to trust the authorities. And they're not going to excuse people, if it was, was run like that, I don't, there would probably be very few exceptions to that and if it was done quickly and done swiftly and, but it's not, because the judicial syste...
yeah. And, and go ahead and get the punishment phase out of the way, because it doesn't do the criminal or the victim's family, any of us, the taxpayer any good to have him sitting around for months and years. Yeah. Anybody, yeah. Yeah. An, an, him could be a her. Right. But. I know in Jamaica, uh, it think it's Jamai...
And they don't have a lot of the crime because there is a law and the law is enforced. And that's what, when you have lawlessness, I mean the law's not being enforced and all that does is lawlessness. We were, we went on a mission trip to Manhattan and to the Bronx and stuff, two years ago, and all these kids were up o...
but I think people are hurting and they're out doing crack sitting on the street. They were the kind of people that, I think mostly, we would want to receive it. If it was presented to see. I don't know, I guess, I'm kind of frustrated that, you know, we've gotten away from the Christian basis that our court system was...
Yeah, I know, you're right, they would lobby that and, and I see that, and that's why, you know, I'm like, okay, what's my role in this thing, you know, what's my part, Yeah. because I don't think the system is going to get fixed. I think it's crippled ... Okay. Do you go camping very much? No, I've haven't gone campi...
Do you tent camp or do you have a camper? Oh no, no, no a tent. That's what I you know, that's how I camp too. That's how I define camping Me too You're really roughing it. The rest, the rest of that is really not the same. Yeah. As a matter of fact, my, my, you know, the majority of the amount of camping I've done has...
I mean? Yes, I'm in Austin, where are you? I'm in Garland. Oh. Right outside of Dallas. Uh-huh. So we, um, we have a five year old, and we started taking her, she was pretty young when we started, uh, camping with her. Oh, the kids love it. I know. I mean, they just love it. It's wonderful for them to be outside. I kno...
Yes. And I like that. It's pretty fun. Well, how it, it's really is a, is a good, good family thing, to do. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. And, We, we try to, uh, go with another couple that have children also. Uh-huh. And, uh, that makes it a lot more enjoyable. Plus, you know, we don't have to go out and buy all the equipment ...
You're right. But, Do you have a boat? No. No? Want one bad. Do you? Oh, well, actually, I would, you know what I would love? I would absolutely love a sail boat. Oh. That doesn't go along with camping, but, now that, that, that's what I would like, to have. Yes Yeah, I would too. Yeah. Would too. We usually, uh, let...
My husband and this, uh, other couple that we go with, her husband, um, kind of likes, um, is it scuba dive? And, so we'll go to a lake and, uh, where they can go do that. Uh-huh. We're close enough so they can do that, and the girls can play on the beach area And I would play on the beach area too. Yeah. That's what I...
you don't, you don't sound like it to me. I've only lived here about six years. Oh, have you? So, if I have one, it must be very, very slight. Yeah. The Yankees can hear it. Yes. Oh, that's true, that's true. I, see I don't think I do, but, uh, but a lot of people do say I sound like, I guess, I have, I guess more of a...
Yes, yes we went last summer, actually. This, how was, I'm wondering, I'm really not that not familiar. I know there are some good places to go camping along the, uh, the lakes. Or is there? Okay, well, we didn't go camping, we just, uh, we did like, uh, we drove down to Houston to visit friends, and, we went to Galve...
and, and ever once, you know, on my summer vacation, you know, my week-long vacation, I, want to be a little bit pampered, you know, by a, hotel and a waiter Uh-huh. Right. Exactly, exactly, yeah. So, we're hoping to do like a three day weekend. There's, um, a thing called Pfeiffer Rim. I don't know if you have ever ...
Have you ever camped out of state? No, I haven't. You know, where you should try, sometime is Colorado. Where at? It is beautiful. Is it? Absolutely beautiful. I've just been up there skiing, and, well, we've driven through, and, you know, Uh-huh. Uh-huh. but, but not, you know, camping or anything. But I would love ...
See, you need to go there. She loves that. She says that where we need to go sometime. It is. It's, you know, it's, it's high canyon and, uh, and there's this little mountain lakes and it's very peaceful. Oh. And, um, in, in the early fall time, Uh-huh. um, I can't remember what type of trees they are, but they, all th...
I know you would. I used to go camping all the time as a, a Girl Scout. I was too All the time. I got real used to it then. Yeah. I felt like we roughed it then Uh, well we did, you know, we really did. I mean, I just don't understand these people that think taking an R V, and parking it and sitting inside and watchin...
Yeah. Well do you, you, you say you haven't been in years? No, I haven't. I'm, um, I'm a struggling single mom. Oh, gosh, bless your heart. and, uh, thank you. Um, it's, you know, time is precious, money's precious. Yes. Um, and it, it, I think I haven't been able to do it, and, you know, what, that was one of the thin...
I don't blame you at all. I hope, Years ago it would have been fine but, Yes, I, I really now, I, I have gone on one little vacation, just the girls and I. We drove down to Port Aransas, and rented a little efficiency, you know, and, and had a marvelous like two nights, Oh. Yeah. Yeah. and that was great. And even at...
I'm just a chicken. I know lots of women would do it all the time. No I don't blame you, not nowadays. I haven't quite adjusted, you know? Yeah. Now are you with T I down there? Well, I, I was with T I until January. I, uh, I left T I in January hoping to strike out and find a job where I could make some money. Good. S...
and I haven't, I haven't started making money yet. Um. It's hard isn't it? So, yeah, it's, it's hard Now, how old are your girls? Eleven and fourteen. Oh, goodness. Yeah. So I'm old No, you're not old Who is You're not old at all. Well, excuse me just second. Sure. speaks to Honey, I'll be yeah, go ahead. voice, There'...

How many have you made so far, calls? I, I haven't made any. I've been just a recipient Oh, have you? They're all, this is only...
that's good. yeah. Very good. That's four each. Well, you know, when I had to this is my, my Gemini nature, you know, it's like what are you interested in, Yes. and it's like virtually anything. I'll talk about anything to anybody Yeah. I don't, yeah, you bet, you bet. And it's, it's been real interesting, the differen...
cause, because it is neat. Uh-huh. It really is. Uh-huh. Well then, I guess I'll let you go so you can go get the door and, Well, thank you. And, um, I enjoyed talking with you. You, me too. You have a good time camping, when you go next time, think of me Thanks. Okay. Thank you. All right. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Go ahead....
Uh, you know, being, uh, I mean, by the time you get off work, go by and pick up the, uh, baby from the baby sitter, it's, you know, after six and by the time everything is settled in, it's ten o'clock before I can catch up on anything. Yeah, I guess that's the way I am too. I, sometimes I hear some things on, on the r...
And, uh, it, it's pretty much headline news. Yeah. Which isn't, you know, pretty much what we look for anyway. Uh-huh. But, uh. I, do you think that the quality of the, uh, the, you know, the news events that you get are, what do you think about it? Well I, I guess it's pretty good. And, and like the Dallas area, Uh-hu...
Yes, uh-huh. That, uh, lots of new, uh, newsmen were created during that so, it will be interesting to see what happens. Uh-huh, true. Trying to think what else is, is current. Right. Uh, uh, Well, um, I don't know what to say Uh, that's a bad one, they, uh, looks like we're going to have an income tax in Texas, Yeah,...
Uh, we're more involved in that now. And, I, I, I, I think it's better for everybody if we had better schools. Yeah, that's true. So, I would think they could find a better way to fund it though, but they haven't for, No. You know, I wish they could have gotten a lottery. Well, they're struggling with it. Yeah. I think...
It'll be interesting to see what happens. Trying to think what else is current. I, you know, I haven't seen the news in a couple of days. So it, uh, I'm a little behind on things. Well, the other thing I can think of is, uh, what is still going on in Iraq and the Kurd refugees. Yes, that's, that's sad. Yeah. They, uh, ...
I think he ought to, should've gone in there and blew them away. Seems to have helped him though, popularity wise. Yeah, it, it, it did a lot. He did a real good job I believe. I have, uh, in-laws that live in Saudi Arabia that stayed there during all of it too. Hm. It, uh, it, uh, you know, we, so we kept very much ...
Yeah. I'll bet. I don't really have much more to say I don't know anything else that's current other than the weather and, You're right, and that's, that's awful in Texas Have, have you all been getting rain storms down there? We got some awful rain, uh, the other morning. And today's just been real drizzly. We did, we...
