Each one took about 5 seconds to do, once he was lined up in the right spot. There were no buried wires, but if there had been, he would have done a number on them.

They guy was very nice. He actually let me drive the thing around for a few minutes, digging holes myself. Very cool. Just like driving a tank in Battle Zone. Arcade video games are useful.

A friend of mine lost her cable service for a week because the fire company decided that hydrants on the street should be marked with a reflector that would stick up above the expected snow drifts ... the first go-round of these were just pounded into the ground behind the curbside hydrant.

Right though the cable.

I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky that they missed the gasline.

Haven't seen this image on the cellar anywhere - Ivan in the Gulf as a cat 4 ... off a news page in Mobile, AL (www.wkrg.com). Part I wonder about is it looks like a right angle cloud in the eye....what the heck is that all about?

Now now now, you don't have massive weather systems going around trying to explain YOUR little quirks, do you?
