81° (27C) on Tuesday afternoon, woke up to a balmy 18° (-8C) this morning.

Around 40f and I'm still stuck on the wrong island! We had whitecaps going across the road downtown because the lake levels are up 16inches due to the NE wind.
I woke up to this...we had spring for a minute or two
It's supposed to snow here this afternoon
It's hard to see in that pic. The power company has been replacing the old poles in our alley for the past three weeks.
My line on the upper right is strung so tight the connection under my eaves troughs is touching it.
When you look at the city line in the alley it's attached to, the one in the alley in between the poles, it's actually pulled in about five feet or bowed inwards towards my house.
I just ran out and had a long chat with one of the workers telling him my concerns and he's going to try to 'cut me some slack'.
I didn't laugh at his joke as the setup doesn't look very safe to me.
He explained they have to replace the old power poles (they've been there since this house was built) because the 'comms' guys (internet/phone providers) are going to be restringing every line in the city with fiber optics. Apparently one of the comms guys got hurt or killed because the old lines were sagging and too close to each other.
So the power guys have to replace all of the old posts. Guy today told me the old posts were in great shape. They're at least 55 years old, pretty impressive.
I'm surprised they are wiring the fiber optic lines in the air like that instead of burying the cables
It was weird. Last fall my internet provider comes by and asks me to sign permission to switch the lines to fiber optic. I don't have to buy the service, but all lines in the city will be changed.I'm surprised they are wiring the fiber optic lines in the air like that instead of burying the cables
She said they would be switching every line by Christmas. No problem on my end, do your thing.
I tell the power guy that today and he says that's exactly why they're here changing the poles. Apparently when the comms guys starting changing the lines to fiber optic, someone got hurt badly because the way the old lines were strung. The comms guys have still yet to switch over to fiber, because now they have to wait for the power guys to switch the poles first.
I couldn't even imagine if they had to dig underground lines across every alley or up to each home. It would be a nightmare. Even watching them replace the poles I was impressed. They don't drop or cut any lines and reattach them while planting the new poles and they pull the old ones out.

Those poor people
Digging up yards and installing new boxes without permission???
fuck that
It's called 'progress'
Today sucked hard. There was a tornado warning from like 10am until 4pm. The weather was horrendous. It was like a hurricane blew through. The local Badcock furniture store got wrecked by the wind alone. It's entire front was ripped open.
