Then, the state of Ohio got a grant from the fed (thanks, Uncle Joe!), part of infrastructure upgrading, to bring high-speed internet to rural areas in the state.
“We’ll never see that, we’re not that rural.”
Then the local paper announced that our county was allocated some of the funds.
“Won’t happen on our road, there’s loads of places in the county that are worse than we are.”

A week later, the utilities guys were out here spray-painting lines along the road and sticking little flags in that said, “Proposed fiber optics line.”
