Joanne's TV came along to the OFH in the move from the downtown condo. Cable TV is part of the rental package for the apartment. Watching basketball is often a backdrop to reading a book. The power switch on the remote was working sporadically. After breakfast this morning I left a service request at the maintenance dept. of the OFH.
There are two full time maintenance persons. Bill is the lead and middle-aged. Chis, his assistant is twenty-something. Guessing that Chris would get this job proved correct when he came after lunch. With remote in hand he quickly flipped through a number of screens. This took about five minutes, then he handed me the remote and said "It's fixed."
It reminded me of the experience of a farmer near Sinai. His large, four wheel drive, tractor wasn't working. It's impossible to tow these behemoths into a shop for repair becasue they are so large. He called for repair and the technician came from Omaha, NE, 240 miles away. The repairman parked his van next to the tractor. He worked in the back of the van for two hours and then emerged. He said "It's fixed."
Takk for alt,
Al
