How Inconvenient

Our Internet was just down for four days again. This was the third time, and hopefully now it is finally fixed for real. For the time being, the teenage-looking repair guy ran a new wire out of the service box, which means that the wall jacks don't work, and we have no home telephone. That is OK for the time being, as we tell everyone to use our cellphones anyway (because the line quality is so bad).

It is all a reminder that, when it comes down to it, Internet is one of the few things we really can't live without. We need it to communicate, to manage our finances, to do schoolwork, and to not feel like we've lost all contact with Western Civilization.

No Internet makes Don go craaaaaazy....
