For the past few weeks it been really dry and really hot. Yesterday, the badly needed rain decided to come and with it came thunder, some hail, and a bit of lightning.

Unfortunately, that bit of lightning had a bite. And that bit of lightning took a bite out of the cable. And the cable's connected to the cable modem. And cable modem's connected to the phone lines. And the phone lines are connected to the phone, the fax machine, and the computers. All of which fried like a chicken.

We got the cable and the phone fixed, but the computers are trashed. Right now, I'm on my mom's laptop and that means my BZP time is going to be cut short for a while.
