please google do it.  Didn't the telecoms say we'd already be there 5 years ago.  Of course I wonder how fiber optic cables can be run in our tree surrounded hood.

Wife and I went to the doctor's this am.  Came home to see the bastages's who are laying the fiber optics for Verizon completely block my driveway (3 car garage) and place one of their machines that dig sideways.  They prevented our garbage from being picked up.

They said that they gave notice via paper on our front porch - I told them that was bull*feces*e.  They said they knocked on our front door this am.  We left at 9:15 am.  One car is parked in street.  One car is trapped.  I am about to go out and tell them to disconnect everything so that I have access to my vehicle.

They claim they have the right to be there because of easement.  I say yeah and you also have the obligation to be a decent human being by giving advance notice.  I have more heavy equipment on road and sidewalk and driveway than is humanly possible.
