Shoot, darn, heck I can't do any work. I suppose I'll have to sit around smoking my pipe and painting for the rest of the day.

A large swath of spectrum and Verizon users in central Texas from what I understand.

I have both of those and love them. However I've been hearing about a lot of black outs lately. Especially spectrum.

Spectrum internet has always been great for me. This is only the second or third time it's been down for more than an hour in the 3 years I've lived here.

Being rural we use Starlink and had no problems until I tried to order pizza online. Their internet was down.

"Well it's flooding down in Texas,
All of the telephone lines are down..."

The title prompted instant Stevie Ray

Edit: crikey, just checked the headlines, Hurricane Beryl. Heck.

It seems that a lot of the state is affected. Went down at the office mid day taking out email and phone systems. Out here at home as well. (Austin area.)

I can't remember how I lived before Internet. Talking to other people? That's how all the fights start, you know.
