@SecurityWriter it was either this or sleep.
@mikemacleod @SecurityWriter yeah, I think we've all had excavators in the data path at some point in our careers.
@WanderingBeekeeper @mikemacleod @SecurityWriter In the late 80s at a meeting about implementing T1, an AT&T rep mentioned (admiringly) that one of their competitors had bought a lot of cable routes in gas line rights of way. He said people running backhoes pay a lot more attention to signs that say 'warning: gas line' than to signs that say 'warning: telephone line'.
(Nonetheless, when I put the power lines to my house underground, the excavator managed to cut the gas line twice...)
