We had some a.m. excitement today! When Da-da went outside, the next door neighbors at Boston Lock & Safe Co. remarked that they saw the electricity arcing on the wires overhead (to our home!). A call was made to our electric supplier, NStar, and within a half hour, they had a truck out to perform a repair.

Examining the wires.

Busy fixing them.

Eventually (we were hoping this would happen), he noticed Andrew (who was knocking much of the time to get his attention) and waved!

The excitement doesn't stop there! Meanwhile, we saw a T bus on the Mass Pike pass by with heavy smoke (that we could smell!) and pull over. Its passengers were let out. They stood out in the cold until another bus came by soon thereafter.
Also, the NStar man said additional crews need to come out to replace the wire. He just performed a temporary fix to reduce the hazard.
