I am heading up North for a family gathering in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan, so I checked the weather forecast and discovered the latest news. Our ancestors may have been more technologically advanced than we thought.

New York Scientists, after having dug to a depth of 10 solid feet, have found traces of cooper wire dating back 100 years.  They came to the conclusion that New York already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

In the weeks that followed, a California archaeologist dug to a depth of 200 feet. Shortly after, a story in the LA Times read, "California archaeologists, finding traces of 200-year-old cooper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."

One week later, The Escanaba Press, a local newspaper in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, reported the following.  After digging as deep as 300 feet in his pasture, Ole Olson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  Ole has therefore concluded 300 years ago, the Upper Peninsula had already gone wireless.

Have a Great Wireless Holiday,
