Appointments

 On Monday, we talked about my internet service provider and how terrible their customer service response time is.  I found a line down in the yard on Monday and the appointment for a tech to show up and fix it is today at 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.  You can bet that I'll be sitting in the driveway at 5:00, probably with a cocktail, watching the show.

Sunset today is at 6:20 pm, so if they are late, there is a chance that they will be working during what I used to call Civil Twilight, but now I simply call Happy Hour.

In a perfect world, they will roll up in the driveway, fail to notice the hanging wire, and snatch it down with the front bumper.

I was a cop for 37 years and our response time was measured in minutes.  If I took five days to get to a call, the world would have ended on my shoulders.

I have registered a complaint with the Public Service Commission.  We'll see how that goes.

Send the cable company an Email, something that will hold up in court, and tell them the low hanging line is a safety hazard.

My bet is on the front bumper. Suggest you position accordingly. :-)
