Powerlessness

Ah technology! How did we live without it. Electricity too; what must life have been like. Yesterday morning at 4:00am, our internet and cable tv died. It may, or may not be a general outage. The customer service people were a bit vague, as they scheduled a service call for 19:00, TODAY! Bastriches! Had to go back to turning lights on and off by hand. Just as well it was quiz night at the pub or we would have been forced to talk to one another too. This morning, around 4:00 again, the electricity went off in our area. Off ‘til noon the Co. says. Had to go out for coffee. The likely cause of all of this is the wind and rain accompanying these waves.
