Down the Toilet

Well, not exactly. We called the city approximately 3 to 4 months ago because the toilets were going glub, glub, glub when we ran laundry, the dishwasher or took a shower. They came out and said, yes there's a problem and we'll be back.

A couple of days later, they were out to mark all the utility lines with spray paint and flags. They told Jimbob they'd be back as soon as possible.

You've probably guessed by now that was the last time we've seen a city crew except on the next street over. Things have escalated beyond tolerable. Jimbob called and left a message Saturday, but of course the city doesn't work weekends or MLK day.

Finally, they put in an appearance this morning to say that they couldn't come until next week. All the markings are no longer good and they will need to start over.
