A new internet provider landed in the neighborhood, and we watched as they strung wire up and down the streets. Two neighbors signed up just before I did, and they have been pleased with their service for several days. Mine is being installed today. The first instruction I had was to move everything three feet away from the area they need to access inside the house. I was aware of the wires in John’s office, but I never paid much attention to them. I was shocked that the service came into the house behind the biggest bookcases we’ve ever owned. I removed a yard of vinyl records, storing them under my bed.

Electricity was supplied to the modem on the other side of the room. What a mess of wires was behind the small computer desk! I crawled under the big desk to that area to make sure I could move the small desk without pulling equipment off.
