"In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican." ~H.L.Mencken (PoliSigh)
You think he was just kidding?
Ever wonder how internet service is provided around the world? And what would happen if something disrupted that service? Here's a real life disruption: cut cables off the coast of Egypt in the Mediterranean. Big slow down in service - that doesn't seem so bad. Wonder if the terrorists have considered stopping the world by stopping the internet? Imagine they have. It would be kinda like the other night when we lost electricity for several hours - didn't take either of us very long to cash it all in and go to bed. Can you imagine what the cave dwellers did with all their night time hours? Lay around in the dark and dream up monsters of one kind or another, I guess. Of course, around the world right now a lot of people live with no or little electricity. What do they do?
Time for me to go get a bite to eat. Already been on a long walk in the wind and the cold.
