Phone line fixed!

Not more than 30 minutes after the phone company technician came out did
I find out the line was fixed. As it turned out, it was the main line
across the road from us that was about to snap apart, and the static we
kept getting was from the ends of the wires rubbing together.

The main line is across the road from us. I wonder why no one else on
this part of the phone network didn't call to complain about the
noise???

The problem wasn't inside the house after all, as we knew. I'm just glad
it didn't take very long or cost us anything. Just think though - if the
wires had snapped, I'm sure we wouldn't be the only ones without phone
service. I'm glad we reported the problem!
