I know that this will probably offend some good folks but way back in the good old days we used to have a saying that goes like this "you can always tell when the cable crews are in town because you're dog is pregnant and you're garbage is missing". By the way I was a lineman back then and this was'nt meant to be offensive towards us but more about how other people (John Q. Public) thought of us. In those days it sorta looked like they opened the doors on every prison and mental institution in america put em in anything that had wheels and called it cable tv. ahh the good old days. That story brought me back a few decades thanks for sharing.
