This afternoon I was picking up fallen tree branches when I came upon a mystery. As you know the Spectrum people were here yesterday, it was three guys in two trucks and another truck on our adjacent lot (the one behind the cinder block fence) that is infested with mesquite trees so the guy had to walk in.

| Why did they not connect this cable to the utility pole? |
There were a total of four men running a new cable from a pole a couple of lots down to mother's utility pole and were here for a while. So why did they not finish the job? They left the yet to be connected cable next to the pole. I am suspicious by nature and this is just adding to that. In case you were wondering the Irish guy was not among them.
This is not a good picture but you can see the cable coming from the other lot thru the trees and I followed it to the pole that is why I know it is not excess cable but the cable that was not connected.
Today marks Day 14 of my self-isolation apart from going to the post office next week, I plan to continue our now mandatory shelter-in-place County order. We live close to the main street that goes into Del Rio so it is heavily transited. With or without shelter-in-place orders I have not seen a reduction in vehicle traffic. Is no one abiding by it?
We now have a fourth confirmed case of Covid-19 and I know this is just going to get worst. I can not believe how those brave health care professionals in New York, California, Washington and other hard-hit areas of our nation can do their job without the proper protection. It is shameful...this is the United States of America for heaven sakes!
We had a low of 52 and a high of 83 degrees.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
