Lost Monday


I almost posted

So it was Monday.

I've skimmed the headlines.

I had my toasted english muffin with some sharp cheddar.

I had my cinnamon hot chocolate.

I'm ready to comment on the world.

My fingers are poised over the keys, and…

FOOSSHH!

The power goes out.

Of course, MaKai my trusted iMac has a UPS. And after many many adventures, my cable modem and my AirPort Extreme also share their own UPS.

But the cable junction box three doors down doesn't have a backup power supply.

So no internet, and only about twenty minutes or so of computer power.

No problem, I put it to sleep, confident that the power will be back up in an hour or so.

Two hours later and a wind/snow storm later, no power and I was getting a mite cold. So I left in search of something hot to eat.

An hour or so after that, I was out of extra time but still no power.

So here I am now, telling you about it.

I'm glad this storm didn't move in while I was car camping last week.

But I am back now and things seem to be working.
