Cable Goes Out...

It was a Wednesday, so Warren was here. We were doing our usual routine stuff (his favorite thing right now is hiding in his little cave under a table)... when the cable went out.


Bummer. But, hey -- we live in the country. Sometimes it just goes out....but then -- it will come back all by itself...

After a couple of hours, I called Mediacom and they tried to resend a signal. No luck. They'll send a crew out on Thursday...

THURSDAY?? That means 24 hours with no cable...

Double Bummer.

No cable?  There's no outage in the neighborhood....What happened to our cable? ...

Three days earlier, a blizzard dumped 24 inches of snow at our house. So, John was trimming the snow covered tree branches and....yep -- he accidentally cut the Mediacom cable, (it was disguising itself as a grape vine).

Here is the exchange of texts between me and Ross that afternoon:

Me: If you're at the library, please bring home some DVD's....your Dad cut the cable.

Ross: WHA? How did he do that?

Me: It was easy. He had a hedge trimmer.
