Just Do it Already

I have said before that I wouldn't mind seeing Trump impeached and removed from office.  Although I have agreed with some of his actions, I have disagreed with others, and I never did like the man personally.  I don't know much about Pence, but I saw him on TV once, and he seemed to agree with me about border security.  Furthermore, I think that Pence would be more electable than Trump next year, although nothing is certain in that department.  I have come to take all news reports with a grain of salt, especially the early ones but, as more reports are coming in, it's beginning to look like this one is a keeper.  I don't think the current allegations are as serious as some of the former ones, but maybe they're just finding more evidence that they can take to the bank on this one.  They still need to shit or get of the pot, however, as they will only have a year or so to wind this thing up or it will become a moot question.

Our local phone company started burying their lines about the time I moved to the region.  For awhile they were just laying their lines on top the ground, so they must have stopped erecting poles before they had the equipment to dig the lines in.  Most of the wires were eventually buried, but they still find one on top the ground occasionally when they try to trace down a problem.  They still temporarily lay them on top for a new customer so they can hook them up quickly, but they come back and dig them in later.  Some subdivision have their electric lines underground as well, but I don't think the city does, and I'm sure that the rural areas do not.

We have a pole in our yard with the meter on it, but the wire is buried from there to the house, a distance of 30 feet or so.  I wanted them to bury it all the way out to the road, a hundred feet if they went straight through the swamp and a hundred yards if they followed the driveway, but the guy said it would be really expensive and he didn't know when they would have time to do it, so I went with the easier way.  They ran it from my neighbor's transformer, across the road and through the swamp.  I wish I had been here to see it because I still don't know how they could set those poles in that swamp muck.  They haven't floated out in the 19 years we've been here, so those guys must have known what they were doing.
