    Default Bad Luck

    Got a ticket today for a hit phone line. City hit the phone line while repairing sewer WHICH had been hit by the gas company. The gas company was repairing a line WHICH had been hit by the a CATV installer. The CATV installer was replacing the line WHICH had been hit by landscapers.....I don't think I would dig in that yard anymore.

    Just be thankful you weren't the one who located the CATV! LOL!!!
    Character is what you are in the dark. It is the things you do, when nobody can see, and nobody will ever know, that define who you are as an individual.

    Reminds me of the damage war that went on in my area a few years back. I had a ticket for a CATV install... two days later there was a call in for same address but this time they were installing a phone line..

    The Duling plows went back and forth 4 times before the electric company verbaly chastised them.

    now there is only one live line, but if your not careful you'll bleed off on all the drops crossing the trench.
