Yesterday I saw a commercial that showed people telling some electronic gizmo to "fill pots/dog bowls, etc with a specified amount of water". We manage to have that type of technology - apparently at our fingertips. And yet, I sit here with no internet because - once again - the flying squirrels have managed to invade the boxes and chew on the lines. Not enough to completely sever - just interrupt the signal. I find myself wondering - wouldn't you think by now the communication companies would have come up with equipment boxes that were "critter proof"? I was told - "it shocks them a little.....but doesn't kill them". ????? I suppose this post just comes under the heading of "things that make you go ...hmmmmmm". 😉

In some of the most secure places in the US rodents disrupt communications and have since we started using plastic on the outside of the wires. I spent many a night inventorying nuclear weapons because of ground squirrels chewing the wires set off the alarms. These were boxes that were so tight that we couldn't slip a credit card between the seems.

Un-freakin'-believable!!

Is it fixed ???????

It apparently is.....the technician told me that some of what he saw (repaired) was a horrendous mess and is being reported - hopefully they will make some additional repairs/take steps to keep our internet from going down every 2 months. 😉 😉
