Accident waiting to happen

Accident waiting to happen

This is the Rail Trail crossing at old Lancaster Road. A few days ago, I was on Lancaster heading towards Rt 20. I drive slowly anyway down these side roads but for whatever reason, I came to a stop, even though no one was in the crosswalk. A bike came full speed out of nowhere, right through this crosswalk. Had the timing been any different, I'd have run him over or he'd have slammed into my car and hurt himself.

I like the trail, I just wish people, all people using it, realize they are crossing streets along the way. When it's car vs bike, the guy on the bike gets hurt. I can and do, go slow, but that won't keep a biker from slamming into me.

Install experience so far.

Today was supposed to be the day.

Over the last few days, multiple sets of flags planted, and I took the morning off to meet the technician.

Guy pulls up and looks around. "They didn't run the conduit?" Nope. Calls the home office and more guys need to come with more flags and conduit probably coming next week.

Not upset. He even offered to give me a temporary drop, but that wasn't really needed. Nice guy.

Only shaking my head because isn't everything done using scheduling software? When the last flag guy won't come for another day or two, wouldn't the rest in line know?

The box Verizon sent me to return their equipment

I am in the habit of saving boxes that my electronics came in. If for no other reason, if I have a warranty issue, I know that the box it came in is going to protect it to ship it back. I had a Verizon wireless gateway that I am returning because I’m upgrading to fiber to my house that was recently introduced in my neighborhood. The box they sent me to ship back their equipment is smaller than the box they handed me at the store when I picked it up. They could’ve just sent me the shipping label in an envelope instead of going through the trouble of sending me a box that doesn’t fit.
