Tonight I saw something very strange as I was walking home from school. All over town there were grey vans with radar dishes and antenas parked in alley ways and behind dumpsters. And there were men in suits with tiny earphones and cell phones standing around the minivans.
I asked Pete who is the dishwasher at the greek restaurant if he had seen them and he said yes and that they were from the cable company installing some high speed fiber optics in the town. But these vans did not say anything on them and the men standing around them did not look very busy.
Grandma used to worry a lot about those people coming to bother her - she called them "The Control Freaks" - but now she does not worry so much. When they come and knock on her door and tell her to remove the big tree that fell over in the driveway she just tells them to go away. This is usually ok except when they are from the gas company or the electric company or the water company in which case I chase them down and write them a check.
But these men I saw were not from the gas company. I think they are up to no good and tomorrow will ask some teachers about it.
If you have seen any of these grey vans hanging around you should tell a teacher about it I think.
