We had one heck of an "outage" last night

[Robb]

Four hours. Riddle me this, tech-types:

How is it all these things went down at once? We lost cell phones (two different carriers), land lines (outside of our local prefixes, e.g. no across county or long-distance), internet, and broadcast TV reception (OK, we only get one channel on the rabbit ears, but still).

What the heck? :shrug:

7. I can explain everything but the TV

With one cut fiber.

Dunno about the TV tho

8. Damn, is the shadow gov't rehearsing again?

I hate it when they do that.

What, you expect a sarcasm smiley? Not from this victim of the '04 East Coast blackout that they blamed on a goddamned SQUIRREL chewing on a single wire in CANADA.
