In Destin, Debbie Belgard notes Reagan’s tough job and vacation schedule. She suggests halting foreign aid and fixing Social Security to reduce the looming 200 billion dollar deficit this year. Public understanding hinges on Congress and media cooperation.
ALOG columnist chronicles a week from Tuesday to Saturday revealing frustration with deadlines, print errors, and writer's block. The narration tracks the looming Monday noon deadline, mock plans, and the avoidance of weekend commitments as the typewriter remains idle.
A writer describes weekly stress before publishing a column. The cycle includes nerves, caffeine, nails bitten to stubs, and a rush to meet noon deadlines. The result is a rushed, stinky draft discarded at the counter, followed by a groan and resolve to try again next week.
A writer describes being deemed high risk by Centel during a holiday season. While others enjoy long phone chats, the author faces a $235 deposit to activate service after moving to Destin. Factors cited include short prior Centel tenure, brief recent employment, salary, and past tolls.
A reader relays a personal tale of moving between service areas, losing Centel credit history, and facing deposits and transient assumptions. The author laments long distance bills, unused lines, and the paradox of needing credit to establish credit, while missing reliable phone service and fearing harassment.
