Yay! It was so hard scrolling this site around on my little phone screen. Fred was working from home today and had time to call the cable internet company. Apparently the line to the house was shot - soaked with water when he lifted the cover at the pole. Suffer no more!
But the best part was Fred had to do a tidy before the guy came. They went to schedule a service call after he tried to usual things to appease the reps on the phone and they said they had someone in the area and they could be here this afternoon. 20 minutes later, the guy called and said he would be there in 10 minutes. Now there was some scrambling!!
