Thank you, Bob.
The actual problem was the city’s mower. It’s a huge behemoth of a machine with which the driver mows the verges.
Apparently, he mowed a phone tower because it was shorter than the grass, and he didn’t see it.
Phone and Intertubes off for two days in this area. Good thing that there are very few people living right around here.
This has never happened before, so I hope it’s another really long time before it happens again.
mowed down your link to the world
That is all it might take for the end of the world as we know it
