Project 365 Day 130: Could It Be!?

While trekking out to the mailbox in gale force wind and rain, I noticed a white utility truck and a crew of men in bright yellow jackets digging holes in the ground. I have also noticed recently the sudden appearance of little flags all over the yards on our block -- either the Lilliputians swept through in the night and planted them to lay claim to four square feet segments of sod, or else the buried cables and wires have been marked so someone would know what to avoid while digging.

The latter is probably more plausible, so let's suspend debate and just go with that. Could these men in yellow jackets possibly be working for Mediacom, finally laying the cable necessary for us to get true high-speed Internet!? We can only hope. It jives with the May-to-June schedule that Mediacom gave the city representatives. If they finish in May, I won't complain.

Now how do I go about bribing them to finish our side of the street first? Cookies from my mother-in-law? Nah, those are too tasty to give away. I can handle waiting an extra week or two if it means I get to keep my cookies.
