"A 'door hanger' will be placed at your home to notify you the day before actual construction is started."

Hmm. Didn't see a "door hanger" yesterday.

There are many possibilities:

-They were being sarcastic.

-Maybe it's wrong for me to assume a 'door hanger' would be hung from a doorknob. Maybe I should look around the property. Maybe they gave it to one of the dogs. Sassy's notorious for not passing along messages.

-Perhaps this isn't "actual construction." Perhaps these are trainees who come out and rip up your yard for practice, before the actual construction crew shows up.

-This isn't construction. This is demolition. They didn't say anything about demolition.

-This is a PR effort. After this debacle, anything else Verizon does will seem downright civic-minded. The last time they were doing this, the township shut them down when it was discovered Verizon's subcontractors used undocumented aliens.

-This is an experiment to see what happens when they reach the local NRA chapter president's house at the end of the street.

So, how's your day going?
