[AGL] report from the front lines

[Charles Loving]

No idea what Zoom is? The internet doesn't work for rural people very well.
I doubt that 50% of the people in this county even have a computer. They
have a phone and maybe a smart phone. I don't use my cell phone out here
because there is no service. So the farmers and ranchers are without Zoom
or Food delivery.
