7/5/18 Maple Leaf neighborhood |
Comcast
is back in the ‘hood. I got excited when I saw a truck pull up towing this large
spool of cable. No sooner did I start to draw it (you can see a few ghost lines
at right) when workers unhitched the spool, and the truck drove away. It’s OK,
though . . . an urban sketcher is always prepared to stop.
When
I went back the next day, I caught the team in action. It took two men and a lot
of grunting to push that heavy spool.

A
couple of hours later, I heard some commotion outside, and the Comcast team was
at the pole right outside our bedroom window! I started to draw the guy in the
cherry picker (you can see his ghost at the top of the page), but he was too
fast for me. I ran out onto the deck as the truck moved down the street, and I was
barely able to capture this much before it was out of sight. They’re busy stringing lots of fiber in the Maple Leaf neighborhood.
