Damnit!Global warming is real!I was setting at my computer terminal, searching and reading new material toenrich my pitiful life and expand my knowledge base...And wham!Global warming smacked me upside the head.My local power grid glitched at a global warming induced bolt of lightning.This bolt of lightning had an agenda.It struck without warning, but only because we were ignorant to all of theomnipresent signs that it was going to strike.It had to.It was inevitable.We have caused global changes in our atmosphere large enough to cause mothernature to use Google to find out where the weakest link in the cable modemchain is.Electrons are our problem.We have no control over natures' electrons!Nature abhors a vacuum, and the internet abhors an on topic thread.This had to happen.My cable ISP provider just could not appreciate the warnings brought forthby a movie.We were warned.I think my ISP should be brought up on charges by the Kyoto court (is thereone?)Oh, the humanity!WTF am I to do without cable service to feed my Internet affliction?Wait!I know who invented the Internet!He bragged on it a few years ago...

Are you having problems like that with the trades in your area too? Its bad here with a labor shortage and all; too many are biting off more than they can chew, not to mention, there are some legitimate material shortages like concrete. My neighbor across the alley from me had what was supposed to be a 3-week kitchen renovation drag on for five months before all was said and done, and there's still a few deficiencies the contractor hasn't gone back to fix yet.
