Nicely done JB; the yellow really jumps.

 

Looks like the cable guy accidentally saved his own life by having a squirt just as the cat stealthily moved in for the kill; causing it to lose its appetite.  Riveting stuff!

That was my interpretation too Jack. Why he is doing it on his own wheel beats me.

Glen Vesterman had two stops remaining on his Carolina CATV route that Thursday

"Watch for Catamounts" the billboard out on 40 had warned ...like big cats were a dime-a-dozen here,and you had to be careful not to step on one

As he rounded the switchback into the faux gated Mountain Vista "estates",it began to rain,with intermittent thunder and flashbulb lightning every couple minutes

This was to be a simple block for delinquent payments,a procedure Glen could manage in his sleep.....In 15 minutes he`d be on the way back toward Asheville.

The OSHA spec fiberglass ladder was heavy and awkward to carry.....In this rain it would be slippery.....probably give him a palm-full of those fiberglass splinters that last forever

The Walmart aluminum ladder section he chose to use instead,was a dream to hoist and would easily reach the low overhang on the track-side bungalow

As he struggled to find purchase for the flipper feet of the Sunshine Happy Ladder® in the muddy clay ,one leg got a pretty decent grip on his coil of #6 AWG, causing the tin spool to roll out onto the narrow gauge railway,crazily spooling wire as it did

Between relieving himself in the customer's yard and having his spool run away Mr. Vesterman needs to learn to handle his wire more carefully, or he'll be out of a job.
