I Miss My Internets

revenaApparently, what happened with the phone line at Mom and Dad's is that some dudes in a truck ran into it while in the parking lot behind the house, Monday afternoon, and pulled it down.
They brought in police, the fire department, the phone/cable company, and the owners of the building to which the parking lot is attached. Someone from that group entered our back yard and propped up the downed line with a stake they found there (at convenient neck-height for Jameson, who did indeed walk into it in the dark Monday night), and tied a strip of caution tape on the end that was dangling over the wall and into the parking lot. And during all of this, not one of those people thought to leave a note on the door, or try to contact the homeowners in any way.
...wtf? It took Dad all day yesterday to track down what had happened, and there were, of course, still no internets (or phone service in the main house) last night.
Supposedly, the phone/cable people were coming out this morning to fix it. But when I stopped at home after my workout with Master Hwang this morning, nothing had been done. That was around noon.
NOT PLEASED.
