Well, well. When I returned from the library, having posted on this site, I was welcomed by Dennis and a snared Mediacom worker bee that Dennis had spied in the neighborhood. All was back to normal on Stauffer Avenue . . . as normal can be for Dennis and me.
Seven days of being off the grid with a land line phone and Internet service didn’t really impact our household as one might think. Neither Dennis or me are “phone people.” Dennis had his programmed card games on his computer and I made good use of our county library. That sure didn’t hurt me one bit. It actually broadened my horizons by catching up on some individuals who were using the library. Neither Dennis or I needed to use very many minutes on our cell phones during the city utility shut down.
Now, if this interruption had happened to, as an example, my beloved sister, and I do say that lovingly, it would have been less than a good thing in regard to the world of Mediacom phone representatives and their field representatives. I cannot think of very many land line phone calls that I have had with my sister without more cell phones going off in the background from individuals trying to contact their residence. My brother-in-law heavily uses his computer for contact with various charitable organizations he is involved with . . . thus is the state of disarray his computer is in quite often.
Nope, I do not want to be in such demand. Did that. Been there. Stauffer Avenue is a place of peace and quite with hermit dwellers within the abode. Priceless. The services are back in full swing and so is the assurance that we can be accessible if needed. It is a lot like car and house insurance. Very rarely needed or accessed, but bring with it a cloud of assurance hovering over the little home on Stauffer Avenue.
