Dig Safe: Cable, Fence

by Jon Katz
Dig Safe

Tomorrow the new farm is getting cable, the first time in my computing life that I have had it. We have satellite here at the farm, and it is good, but not cable. It will make my photo and blog transmissions so much easier, I think. We are also getting new fences (after this, I think I will be taking collections on Main Street in Cambridge  🙂 – just kidding). I had to call 1 800 Dig Safe to tell some utility officials about this work, and after a long and complex phone proceedure, we got some white paint and sprayed the boundaries of the fences to make sure there were no buried cables.

Four or five utilities responded and we were told to look for an orange “ok” which we found this morning. It looked mysterious, like some alien message. I should call my friend George Forss.
