Thank You, Comcast

I have to report that I had a good experience with Comcast technical service recently, but it required some repetition, persistence calling, patience and a number of technician visits before the problem got solved.   Many technicians visited my residence, but without success.  Management sent a senior technician and after several hours of work he found the problem:  an outside line feeding to the house!

Many thanks to the Comcast staff for persisting to find the problem.  I am was left feeling that they are doing an increasingly better job than AT&T.

City of Coral Gables: No Environmental Protection of Workers?

It can be observed many days that landscape contractors hired by the city do not enforce minimum acceptable protection against hearing loss by their workers operating equipment.

I have yet to see a single worker with protective equipment, such as earplugs, operating high decibel noisy equipment.  The equipment includes mounted lawnmowers and gas powered leaf blowers and grass trimers.  Also, I have observed lawnmowers being driven on the main streets.

I urge the City of Coral Gables to enforce the minimum acceptable environmental noise protection for its contract and own workers and all safety rules, all to the benefit of workers in the city:  they deserve the same “quality of life” as our residents.
