Moved - Accomplished, Mostly

So the move into my father's place is complete. I've piled boxes as high as I can in the tiny room he has alotted for my use, and stacked the rest on the porch outside. After a week of waiting I have Verizon installed as an internet service. Did you know, according to my last Brighthouse technician, that Brighthouse is incapable of providing two accounts to a single residential address? The level of technical ability - adding another tap to the pole - is far beyond the abilities of their average service technician. In fact, as I wrote this, Brighthouse called me to discuss the issue of providing a second service to the same residential address. Apparently it IS possible. So the technician was wrong. Why he turned off my father's cable service AT THE POLE is now a rather curious question. He acted displeased that he had to come here and not be able to do the job. Spite? He certainly seemed to be somewhat of a jackass. I'm finding "spite" is the only possible reason he decided to "unhook" the address. Nice, eh?

So the adventure continues. Soon I will be eradicating the rats in the walls and the mice that have infested my father's place due to his unwillingness to pick up after himself. They are on official notice of eviction. After that, I can clean up the rotting hulk of a sailboat that rests at the end of the dock. I'm not sure, but I may have heard moans of the damned emanating from it's vicinity. I look forward to the investigation.
