Eclipse II - The Sequel
Just the other day, we lost cable and Internet service. Coincidentally, at the same time as the eclipse. It wasn't out for that long, but it did show me just how dependent we are on our electronic services.
Talk about withdrawal! I thought I was going to go nuts. No TV I can (sorta) live with, but don't take my TV and my Internet! I get itchy and twitchy if I can't surf.
Well, that outage was - seriously - nothing! Last night, 30 minutes before the end of the Doctor Who Season 4 finale, everything went down again!
Do you remember a howling scream about 9:30pm GMT -7:00 last night? The sound of a wounded animal, crying out in agony? That was me!
At first I was calm. "Just a fluke. It'll be back shortly." I strolled into the other room to have a cigarette, not worried. It was no biggie - certainly we wouldn't lose the cable for the entire remainder of the show. Just couldn't happen.
After 30 minutes of downtime - panic set in! My heart started racing; my hands started to shake! "OMG, OMG, OMG! What do I do?! What do I do?! What do I do?!" Normally, I would edit or blog - but I was cut off from the rest of the world!
And, just to make matters worse - it was still out when I got up today!
