It is quiet....to quiet. I know it is Sunday and it probably should be quiet but this is different. It is

7 am and I am having the first cup of coffee for the day.....nothing unusual yet. I check the weather by looking out the window. Nothing strange outside. The usual chilly late winter morning with a little sun, no traffic on the road, all is quiet.

Lets see what is happening in the world. What is the price of oil today? Is it going to rain? Did the Celtics win last night ? Did Trump pick a Kardashian as his running mate yet? All burning questions that need to be answered before I start my day.

I pick up my cell phone and there are no new emails or texts....mmmm. Am I suddenly unpopular?

Facebook with nothing but yesterdays posts about the politics in town or pictures of somebodies last home cooked meal....( now I'm hungry)....nothing new!

My Ipad sends me the same no new news...mmmm I sense a pattern.

I go to old reliable ....the TV...it never fails to get me caught up.

NOTHING!....I begin to panic...sweat forms on my brow...could it be...am I disconnected?

I fumble with the remote and go about my systematic check of all systems Internet...reset everything...check cables...the usual....NOTHING!

This bad...real bad! I'm not connected to the outside world.

Well it is hours later and the powers that be ( the cable company) tell me it wont be until tomorrow sometime before they can send somebody out to get me back online.

Now it is up to me to get thru the next full day..disconnected. Should I got to the nearest Starbucks check in for the next 24 hours and use their WiFi ?  Well I start by using my phone and all of my allotted data for the month to do my banking, check emails and oh yea do important stuff like check Facebook for important posts about latest ads for things that I will never buy or use.

What the heck I can always go for a walk, read the book that I started six years ago, practice on a guitar that Joann gave me 20 years ago, one that I have yet play a single song on. Heh wait there are plenty of things that I can do.... Who needs the Internet?  Jo says if I have nothing to do I can start painting the walls or do several other projects that I have been putting off because I have "work " to do on the computer. I open my big mouth or in this case my fat fingers on the keys of the computer and look what happens. I 'm gonna quit now before it gets worse. The only thing that would make my day a complete disaster would be if the electricity went..........................................................
