Why are there flags in my yard?

     One day you may be surprised to come home to colorful flags in your yard or even the grass spray painted. You don't remember calling 811, so what could this mean?

Some tips on taking care of your device charger!

      People buy expensive cases for their phones and tablets, but an often looked but essential component is the device charger itself. Often times people will lay them out haphazardly across a desktop or floor, and then throw them in a bag during travel, only to find when they go to charge the device later, the charger no longer works. Here are some usual tips on proper care.          1. Use only the cord that came with the device and only buy compatible replacements.  Pay close attention to the cord specifications when buying a new charger or cord, just because they look similar doesn't mean that they are, not only could this not charge the device you purchased it for but may cause some pretty serious damage to the device itself.     2.
