It’s virtually the simplest, best old-school design that exists in order to create a flame. Spend a few minutes on YouTube looking at Zippo videos and you’ll see how easy they are to fix and maintain. My 17-year-old just resurrected an ancient (40 years old) Zippo of mine that was originally purchased in Vietnam, and it…just works.

No FIOS available in Jamestown, but Cox has recently begun installing fiber optic cable. I have buried utilities on my street, and was very pleased to see them undertaking the expensive digging required to provide us with the new service. All I need now is the drop from my utility box to my house, and the necessary new hardware inside the house. DL speed now with copper cable varies between 100-120 Mbps, with very occasional bursts of 800-900 Mbps. I’m paying for 500, will happily pay more for 1,000. Overall satisfied with Cox and find their live support pretty good. Just wish they weren’t a monopoly so that their prices were better. Always fun to call them up and ask for a retention specialist when one of their bundle offers expires and the bill goes up…just did that and got a lower bill with more services.
