Jeesh! We had a 3 second power outage across the entire town last night... not even long enough to make the TV time settings disappear where you have to reset them. However, when Matthew tried to get on the computer to check something after finishing watching whatever it was that had been on TV (I was in the kitchen when the power went and just stood still until it came back on again), the Internet was gone. It stayed off the entire night and all day today.. I kept checking every hour or so.
When Matthew's girlfriend came to pick him up (they decided that I was not going to drive today after yesterday's chest pain scare, and that I needed to rest) she said that the Internet was out at her place (different town) too... they have the same IP as we do in our town. I did go to the store very briefly and ran into one of the Librarians who told me that the Library was swamped all day with people coming in to use the computers there. We can't figure out why, but their Internet worked (same IP) when no one else's in town did. She said she heard that the IP people were working on it as soon as the power outage was over last night... but holy cow, you'd think they would have managed to get everyone's connection up and not just the Library's.
Oh well, it's back now... so it's fine! :o)
Gemini Thought of the week - - - If you throw a cat out of the car window, does it become kitty litter?
LOL I found this saved on a disk today and thought it was funny. There are more, but I'll only do one a week so as not to annoy... and to make them last a while! ;o)
