The Damage One Person Can Do

It's surprising how much damage one person can do. A neighbor who lives about 1/2 mile away was getting up hay with his tractor yesterday and I don't know what he hit, but he scared the life out of it! A transformer blew up, caught on fire, and shook the ground as far away as 1/3 mile I'm told! Our lights blinked but returned; however, the phone stayed messed up until this afternoon. I called the company for help and they assured us that it would be fixed soon. The dial tone returned and I could call out; however no one could call in. When I called my friend, she wasn't going to answer because her caller ID said it was some man that she had never heard of calling. She finally decided to answer and it was me. I, once again called Embarq and they told me that my phone was fine; I asked them what # they thought I was calling from and they were told it was Philip's # (the stranger). I tried to convince them that I was not Philip. Well, that's what the phone showed... NOT! Later, 2 more workers showed up at our house. I questioned them about my internet since I had no service. I was told that I didn't have service because Philip didn't have internet. I responded, "Well, maybe Philip does have it now if he's using my line.!" It's now almost 5:00 PM and I finally have my internet, my phone, and a hubby named Don, not Philip!
The neighbor who did the damage is a big, big man; however, I bet he didn't realize he had that much power (that's more than he had when he was our county sheriff!)
