Another dreary winter day. It is 46°F (7.8°C) as I write this at 11:30am. I was hoping to go to the Headtown cemeteries where much of my family is buried, pay some respects, and make a few photos. I would like to get one more photo of the house in which I was born and also the one across the street from it where I lived most of my teen years and where my mom lived until her death in 2002. Maybe the light will improve later in the day; it is only a 10 minute drive for me.

JJ and Carolyn are working on the gas fireplace, trying to get it going for one more season. It is mostly for show, but it does provide some heat when there is no electricity to make the gas furnace operate. It was very useful one winter in the late 90s when a heavy snowfall had us without power for several days. Most of my family was camped out in various rooms of our house.

The cable company sure is taking a lot of time and resources hooking up TV in the house across the street. Two vans were there all day yesterday, and this morning there are two bucket trucks along the street. The neighborhood has no overhead wires. One guy is working on the access panel in my front yard, and I hope I don’t have to scold him. Three times since I’ve lived here the cable company has managed to gut our phone lines, the last time as I was standing and explaining to them that they were about to cut my phone lines. Stupid is as stupid does. Another time, they had to replace the cable which is buried along the street at the edge of my front yard. They brought in their Ditch-Witch, dug their trench, replaced the cable, half-assed covered it up, and drove off into the sunset. They left us with a muddy mess all along the curb and when we called them to complain, they said they hired a contractor to do the work and that we would have to contact them to complain. We ended up back-filling the ditch and resowing grass at our own expense. I told them to never set foot on our property again, and they said they could use the right-of-way anytime they wanted. I told them I could fill their asses with rock salt anytime I wanted. I freaking hate Comcast as they have been an arrogant bunch since coming into the area. If I had another choice of cable companies, I would get rid of Directv satellite service and have cable installed.
