We've been chugging along. Matthew's been really busy with school, Kumon and Chinese school. It's Sunday morning for us and it's our usual routine...except today, no cable, no internet and no phone service. Early in the morning. What the ????Called the cable company and reported the issue. No reported outages in the area. It became an emergency call. Two hours later, the cable guy shows up and he couldn't figure out what happened. He checked every wire in the house upstairs and downstairs, checked all the equipment and it was a complete mystery. For giggles, he decided to check the wires running from the pole down the road from the house. Bingo! It turns out that the wires were chewed through by our resident squatters- the squirrels. They've done a lovely job since all the wires had to be replaced from the bottom of the road to the top of the house. Total time, three hours to replace all the wires. Now we know why the squirrels love squatting in our yard. They must be getting a jolt each and every time they chew the wires. Hey, some like it that way. Me personally, if I were a squirrel, I'd rather keep digging around the yard for nuts.
