Speak Your Piece, Part Deux

It’s that time of the month, my friends. Time to let it all out, and air your grievances for all the good little boys and girls of C-U to see. As usual, I’ll start first. I actually have two today.

To the City of Champaign Public Works department: We who live on cul-de-sacs should not be treated as second-class citizens. Repaving the street that leads into the cul-de-sac was nice of you. But please, finish the job. It looks ridiculous. I’ll even wave my rights to my driveway for a week or so. Otherwise, we’ll have to throw a little tea party in Lake Devonshire.

To Insight Cable: I don’t care if my neighbor wants high-speed Internet service. There is no way you are tearing up my yard for your customer. What gives you the right? That’s what DSL is for.
