I just looked out and found a power system crew madly topping the holly 
trees along my back property line, beneath the utility cables.  It seems 
that squirrels have gnawed through the outer sheath on the fiber optic 
bundle, and damaged some of the fibers themselves.  There are about 40 
customers without TV, Internet, or telephone service, though mine is 
still up for now.

They plan to make some quick repairs, but the cable must be replaced.  
If I am quiet for a while, blame the squirrels, whom I feed. :-(

Such is life.
