A tribute to that Internet thingy.

I love that Internet voodoo that pile of wires and things that lets us stay connected and keeps us entertained. It ties the world together like economies these days it's magic either good or bad information cuts both ways. It went down the other day and it wasn't out that long the maintenance guy was at the outside box and he did something wrong. I watched him like a tiger from inside my gilded cage I was pacing my perimeter like a predator engaged. I screamed helpful, timely updates he seemed a clueless clown and I was ready to go block his truck if he tried to leave while we were still down. He finally got the thingy fixed my sweet prince of restoration I laughed out loud to see the lights then I gave him a standing ovation. Without the Internet I'd go crazy and it wouldn't take that long after months of dull isolation it's helped us all stay strong. p.s. I write short stories too =]

I feel exactly this same way; I would have blocked him too or maybe caged him and kept him.

right?? At one point I yelled at him (the outside box is at the edge of our yard), "Don't try and leave until we're up!." (Like I'm the local sheriff.) When I gave him the "thumbs-up" he said.. "can I leave now?" HA!!
