Every
so often, on a Sunday, the Internet, Cable and phone will go
completely to hell, and by that, I mean, it all stops working. For
everyone. It doesn't matter who your ISP is, it just goes away, and
it's usually for a full 8 to 10 hours and always on a Sunday. It's
not every Sunday, and it doesn't happen with any regularity or
frequency that we can report on, so we just all sit here, like clams
in the dark, until our Internet, Cable and phones start working
again, generally around six pm'ish.

I
tried reporting this outage to my internet provider and they were
just as much in the dark and mystified as I was. They had also had
several other calls from customers in our area reporting the outage
and they had no explanation; everything looked good. It wasn't until
we read a little blurb in the paper, that we discovered that the
Department of Transportation had purchased several of the older
houses in and around the areas of I-275 that they were going to
expand and rather than tear down these fine old houses, they decided
to move them to other parts of the neighborhood.

I'm
all for the preservation of history and we do sport some pretty nifty
old houses and all, but only in or around Nebraska Avenue, would the
Government come up with something so cock-eyed.

Yes,
we must expand the freeway, but rather than tear down these old
houses, let's buy 'em for lots and lots of money from their owners,
(who've skipped off to Key West), and spend lots and lots of money to
move them to empty lots that we've ALSO bought from some other people
(who fled to Monte Carlo) for lots and lots of money! Then, let's
move the houses, but let's move them in the most inconvenient way
possible; say, like, by Conestoga Wagons and Oxen, and turn off
everyone's Internet, because we're not sure that it's safe to leave
it on when we move these here houses, because we're the Department of
Transportation, not the Department of House-Moving; I mean, we have
to figure out some way to use up all of this money, so we'll get more
next year? Right?

And,
another house gets moved in a stately, glacial manner down the
Avenue. . .
