First is a photo taken on Church Street which looks like a mess
of frayed wires covered up with a piece of raincoat-looking material. Although I was unable to get a picture of it, the yellow material is stenciled with "SNET" on the side facing the house. That indicates to me that the cloth was placed there by some personnel of AT&T, which bought Southern New England Telephone years ago.
Next we have an excessive length of phone cable that was coiled up, labeled and taped into a tree near the utility pole where the cable was hanging off.
Relics / aftermath of the brutal winter we just had? Up to code? Do I just have too much time on my hands to be noticing such things? What do you think?
