All gone.

Cable Man came and took the cable box.

As well as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and the Movie Channel. Apparently, negotiations between those channels and Charter Cable have broken down.

And four remote controls, only one of which belonged to him.

The other three I bought at a yardsale for a quarter apiece after my dog chewed up the one that came with the box.

He didn't even let me get my batteries out.

If I'd known he was coming that day, I'd have hidden all but one.

Cable Man is not one of the good guys.
