Cables, Cables Everywhere

Over Christmas we were watching A Christmas Story. One of our favorites! I always laugh at the parts where the dad is trying to find a place to plug in the leg lamp. We are so out of spaces to plug things in at our house, it isn't funny! And I can't help but wonder about the fire hazard we have created by the miles and miles of cable in our home. Electric cable, printer cables, computer cables, phone cables, earphone cables, recharging cables! It reminds me of another movie moment in Airplane when William Shatner starts losing it becaus of all the lights beeping and blinking! (Maybe I watch too many movies).

Then there are the cables we can't see...the underground electric cable, the phone cable, the T1 cable (yes, we had T1 in the past) and a fiber optic cable. If ever anyone needed to be able to buy bulk cable, it is our family! When we wired our home so that all the computers here and in our office across the street to be connected, we bought cable on a big spool. No one would ever expect our little home in the rural area we live in to be as wired as an office building downtown, but we are. These are the kind of things you have to do when you run your own business a) from home and b) when your home is in the middle of nowhere!
