No — this was not composed on my phone

• My internet service was restored yesterday, after a two day outage
• At 9:30 this morning a snowplow came down our street
  – breaking the temporary cable that has been in the street since summer
  – disrupting our service for the 4th time since January 15th
• My wife was working from home
  – so I took her to her office so she could continue working
• I continued on, grocery shopping before heading home
• Arriving home at noon, I saw a new cable, connected and lying in the street
• Internet service was restored
• Our morning call to customer support bypassed all voice menus
  – something unheard of
  – apparently our account has been flagged as a priority
       ~ a perk for suffering four snowplow-induced outages?
• Two work orders were placed
  – a repair to restore our service — Surprise! Completed this morning!
  – an order to bury the cable under the street
• That cable has been there since last summer
• There’s now a foot of snow — That cable ain’t goin’ nowhere
• We anticipate more outages before spring weather arrives
• And probably after
