Not Soon! My Cable Company Says.

(This was originally published on 4/27/11.)
My cable is down. I am blogging from school which is not the same as blogging for four or five hours. They may not be able to repair it for some days.
So, it will be a while before I get back to blogging as much as I would like.
Now, many reading this post probably assume I am complaining about my cable company. Sometimes I do. But a huge area here has been badly flooded and the main thing I feel is sympathy for the Cox workers and service techs. This is a rough time for them. And while I don’t like not having my cable. This situation is beyond anyone’s control. So, I wait my turn.
