I'm posting this via cellphone because my beloved Internet is out. And of course, one of the main benefits of "bundling" services is that when your web connection is out, so is your TV, telephones and for some bizarre reason, also your downstairs toilet. Maybe the toilet's a separate matter.
Anyway, my ISP has no idea when these services will be restored. A nice lady on the phone told me that a lot of their repair personnel is out trying to fix things in areas being affected by brush fires. Brush fires, by the way, are now more plentiful in Southern California than Whole Foods Markets. And somewhat less expensive.
I'll be back when I'm back…and not a moment before.
