I looked out the front door last Sunday, and I was surprised to see a small pond of water in the street in front of the house. We called it in. We didn't see any action Sunday night. Monday, a cone showed up. Tuesday, the "call before you dig" markings and flags appeared. Wednesday, they began digging. By the time we got home from bingo around 9:30pm, road blocks were up, and the backhoe straddled the hole. The leak appears to be fixed, the hole is filled in, and I suppose they're going to let thing settle before the patch the asphalt.
During this time, Mr. L looked into the gas meter hole. With what he saw, he asked me to check the gas bills, because he said there was no way that meter was working. I logged in and checked tonight and traced the readings back over a year before I found a change. This is the problem with paperless billing. I get the email with the amount due. Then I get the email a couple days later that the bill has been paid, and I don't worry too much about it. If I were getting the physical bills, I would have noticed the readings weren't changing. I guess we'll deal with it this week.
The Week Ahead:
- Work at the shop
- PBOTL type-in
- Find out what I need to do in Scrivener to get me what I want in a compiled output.
- Help Mr. L with his Tuba Christmas meeting on Tuesday night
- Daphne for her shots

Yeah, you have to stay up with the meters. A small town in Oklahoma had a bunch of meters that went offline for several months, and then suddenly the residents were presented with huge bills.
