For 36 hours or so of the past 2 days, my internet and cable was out. And I, had not a clue in the world as to why.
Well, earlier today, being the perfect child i am, I was working in my backyard when out of the blue, I noticed that the hose i had left by the water drain (sewer pipes for thse out of the loop) behind the shed, was moving all by itself.
Puzzled, i walked closer to investigate, and as i did, the hose moved again, as if it were being tugged. I turned the corner at the shed and looked at the water drain and again, it moved. Somthing was pulling the hose down into the drain. A little creeped at this point, i slowly approached the opening in the ground.
As i peered downward, there was a full grown raccoon in the water drain, biting at the end of the hose , and right next to him, were the tattered remains of the electrical wires that supplied my precious internet service.
I couldnt help but smile at the predicament. Of course, unlike most smiles that represent joy or happiness, this smile was more like the one a crazed killer gives right before he snaps and continues to bludger his victim with a blunt metal pipe.
But a smile is a smile, i suppose.
