Lost my Cable and internet for two whole days -due to a regional outage. Finally a technician shows up and fixes everything in 15 minutes. I had no idea how miserable it could be to have no news and weather updates - but worse - I could not log on to FReeRepublic or get emails. Not a crisis, like floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires or hurricanes - but it made me realize how fortunate I am to live on this Earth in this country. right now. God Bless sod
