The cable guy. It was a cold, wintry night when we called. Cable was out. They said it would cost extra to send someone out off hours, but we were willing to pay; TV after all. So they dispatched him. Two hours later we called back asking about service. They said they had dispatched a service truck almost two hours ago and he should be there. He may be somewhere in the area, checking connections. Give him another hour then call back. An hour and a half later we call back. Theyāre not sure whatās happened and theyāre checking into it. Theyāll be in touch.
Morning news reported a missing cable truck and service engineer. That was the local news for almost two weeks, after the cable guy disappeared. They never found him, or his truck.

Il Traghetto di Leonardo ĆØ un particolare tipo di traghetto a mano che prende il nome dal suo presunto inventore, Leonardo da Vinci. L'unico esemplare tuttora funzionante unisce i moli di Imbersago (Lecco) e Villa d'Adda (Bergamo).
Nonostante il nome, non v'ĆØ certezza che Leonardo sia il reale inventore, di sicuro si sa che studiĆ² a lungo il progetto nel periodo che passĆ² a lavorare per Ludovico il Moro, signore di Milano.
In seguito ai suoi studi disegnĆ² un traghetto uguale in tutto e per tutto a quello esistente tuttora ad Imbersago. Gli studi vennero effettuati dall'inventore durante il proprio soggiorno a Vaprio d'Adda sotto al Girolamo Melzi, negli anni 1506-1507; il disegnĆ² che ne risultĆ², datato 1513, ĆØ stato incluso nel Codice Windsor e viene conservato nell'omonimo castello in Inghilterra. Il famoso disegno del "porto della Canonica di Vaprio" raffigura il traghetto (detto "porto") vincolato ad una fune, modello comune a tutto il corso del fiume.
The new Tram in Nice was opened in 2007 and can run without overhead lines between stations. On line 1 this was only used for 500 meters, but on line 2 80% of the line (above ground) is without overhead lines. Line 3 is even 100% without them.
