The Gas and Electric company is doing something up the hill from us. In fact, since we live in a valley, they are working up both hills from us.
They start at some ungodly hour – around 6:30 or 7:00 – using what our eldest used to call diggers and pushers. Some folks think they are drilling massive holes to set up the big, single pole towers for the power lines. The “erector set” towers came down over a year ago, and there are already poles in place. I think, but don’t quote me, that they are putting in vaults to bury the lines. But then, why would they have already erected the poles and then come along and bury the lines?
Whatever they are doing is loud. The heavy equipment makes so much noise that I thought The Squire was running the leaf blower outside. And when the trucks are backing up, the warning claxon is maddening. Beeb, beep. Beep, beep. The truck goes beep, beep, beep.
It is penetrating, and it drives poor Blazer to distraction.
