Hey, I started asking, do you want to call on the Verizon back and just letting them know that the wire is down on the ground halfway in the road and if I move my vehicle cars, we'll run into it and take it the rest of the town?
00:11
First, if I didn't advise them to the while I was down,
00:13
but they said they talked to the, uh, Deucous supervisor, who said they're not coming out unless the road is closed.
00:20
So if you close the road, just let me not come out of them now.
00:22
Well, tell them, I'll be shutting it down then until we can get someone out here, so I can't leave this on attendance.

Understood.
