Cable Problems

(1)

Running a little late tonight due in part to an unexpected visit by representatives of the local cable company. Seems that our tv system is emitting 'noise' which could interfere with other communications. This is the second time. On the previous occasion the culprit turned out to be an old cable amplifier. I bought new cable amplifiers and the problem of supplying four tv sets with adequate video seemed to have been solved.

Apparently not so. The investigator identified a kind of 'rat's nest' which needed to be cleaned up and offered to do the job gratis, tomorrow. I replied that I intended to be very hungover tomorrow. We agreed on, 'anytime monday.' Alright! This guy was a MAJOR improvement on the bizarre dude who answered our previous call some months ago to the same cable company.
