Zen and a Time Warner Cable Outage
Since 6:30 this morning, my home internet access, land line, and television have been down, due to what Time Warner Cable claims is a fallen tree. TMC once blamed an outage on a chewing squirrel, rather than admit to outmoded wiring. So, here I am, pecking away on my iPhone at a Starbucks. The thought of getting through an evening without internet or TV is daunting. I might have to meditate, settle in with a good book, or find a friendly bar for a cocktail. #sweatingthesmallstuff

i’d go for the lsat option.
Literally 5 minutes go, everything went back on. I’m relieved. It’s such a weird feeling when the basic things you assume will work, don’t. I’ll have to explore my local bar another time. But you’re right. That was clearly the best option!
I’ve been hearing negative things about Time Warner Cable. I keep hearing about them pulling stations off their lineup.
Glad your cable situation was fixed. I haven’t had cable in years, but even if I could afford it I doubt I’d purchase it.
I’m pretty hooked on Comedy Central and HBO. They help get me through the day.
I still say HAPPY HOUR!
Agreed. Getting ready for one right now.
