*whew!* Glad that’s over!
The last 30 hours or so have been… notsomuch interesting. But did have time to get a few more chores done around the house and such like.
A tornado and high winds thee counties north of America’s Third World County took a pretty big bite out of our cable provider’s infra. No TV (no big loss there), but also no internet service and no VOIP (until yesterday, our ONLY long distance service).
Oh, we still had local phone service, but… our backup dialup internet service bit the dust about three months ago, so no help there.
And Mothers Day. Had to call my mom. *heh* Had picked up a “throwaway” $20 cell phone (pay-as-you-go: came with two months/300 minutes, far, far more than I’ll use it in that time) juuuuust before our service outage, so Mother got her call from me. Was short. Just, “Hi Mom. My LD phone is out of service so all I have to say is, “I love you, bye-bye.” *VBG* (Couldn’t reach her until after 1:00, cos my dad had her out celebrating, I suppose.
Oh, well. I’ll call again in a minute or so and get the whole scoop.
Anywho, good ISP/cable company. Despite extensive damage, it’s back in service. Been very, very pleased with these folks.
