We Interrupt This Website...

We're ba-ack. 

The power went out here in the homefront, and knocked the Internet out, as well.  After trying to reboot my router and modem for a while, I finally called Time-Warner to find out if they'd had a service interruption in the area.  No, the person told me.  Her records showed that everything was fine.  Would I like to set up a service call for tomorrow?

That didn't seem likely to me that there wasn't a service outage.  Not only had it been raining, and the power went out, but when I check my cable TV during the call...it was out, too.  So, explaining that I didn't want a service call, I got bumped up to a higher tech.  And -- yes, the power was indeed out.  Not a shock.

We'll, it's returned and now so have we.
