I think I know the answer, but will be out of touch again all day tomorrow so won't have time for posting a question. The gas utility company called and they will be here by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow and will not finish until late tomorrow. Could someone else be assigned the next question instead...if I am correct? Otherwise, I'll sit this one out and see if somebody comes up with the answer I think is correct.

I am glad, too! I'm so worried. The gas company has done the same project in other towns during the past few years, have had problems and there have been a few explosions with fatalities. I am so fearful, but they assure me it will be safe. I am praying they are right.

Not too reassuring is it?! Is there anywhere you could go for the day (with your cats, of course?)

No. It's mandatory that I am home because they will be coming in and out of my house all day! It's distressing and it's a project they require, so I can't refuse or opt out!😫

Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments Which NE author personally counted all the houses in every town this person visited?"

That seems like something Thoreau
would have done.
Thoreau is my final answer.
