Just locally - from the local switch to the individual subscriber. City to city
is via Microwaves. True long-distance is bounced off the satellites.

Your problem was more likely to be the fault of some part of Phydeaux havin the
pip or the colic.

      Title: Shrimp Via Augusta
 Categories: Seafood, Citrus, Shrimp
      Yield: 2 servings
 
      1 lb Medium shrimp, peeled but
           - tails left on
    1/4 c  Olive oil
    1/4 c  Chopped shallots
      2 ts Smoked paprika (pimenton de
           - la Vera)
      2 tb Lemon juice
      2 tb Chopped fresh parsley
      2 tb Chopped fresh chives
           Salt
      1    Lemon cut into wedges
 
  Serve with Spinach Catalan-Style. A suggested battle plan
  for this meal: Get the shrimp into the marinade first and
  then cook the spinach. The latter doesn't need to be piping
  hot.
  
  Combine the shrimp, olive oil, shallots and paprika in bowl;
  mix thoroughly. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes
  to marinate.
  
  Five minutes before cooking the shrimp, preheat the broiler.
  
  Turn the shrimp mixture into a shallow, oven-proof dish just
  large enough to hold them in a single layer. Use a spatula to
  make sure all the marinade makes it into the cooking dish.
  Place the dish on the highest oven shelf and broil the shrimp
  for 2 minutes on one side, then turn and broil for 1 to 2 min
  on the other side. The shrimp should just barely be firm; do
  not overcook.
  
  Remove the dish from the oven, add the lemon juice, parsley
  and chives and stir well. Add a bit of salt, if desired, but
  shrimp often are briny enough on their own. Serve with pan
  juices and lemon wedges.
  
  Serves 2 or 3
