Gettin' all modern and stuff

So last weekend we had a guy from GCI come hook us up to the new fiberoptic line that was put into our neighborhood two summers ago:


It had to be dropped from the main line in the road, then come all the way down the driveway:


The dogs got tired of getting up to bark at him every time he came near the house, so after an hour they began barking from the couch, while lying in boneless silence while he was up the driveway:


The phone company has also put up a new tower in our neighborhood, so we have cell service at home now, which we never had before (it only reached as far as the highway). As I've said before, we preserve an illusion of a simple life, despite our thorough integration into the benefits of modernity. We just polished one more spot clear in that translucent screen.
