We tend to have pretty awful internet 'round these parts, but today was particularly noteworthy in it's lack of decent connection.
Early this morning, I awoke to a loud bang. I thought it sounded like a slab of concrete falling from some height and assumed it had something to do with the nearby construction. A few hours later, there was another loud bang, which this time I saw to be accompanied by a bright flash of light. Incidentally (or so I thought), the internet was completely out. Not just connecting extra slowly, or coming up with "failed to load" message boxes, but displaying a completely new error page, unlike anything I'd encountered before.
After church, I came to find out that these two events were not as separate as I'd thought. It turns out that a squirrel wandered up onto the roof and had chewed through an internet cable, frying himself in the process and producing a very loud noise (bang #1). Later, it's mate (presumably) wandered up the same way, chewed the same cable, and fried herself (bang and flash #2), falling to her death on the sidewalk below next to her lover.
How romantic, right?
very romantic!
ReplyDeleteRomeo and Juliette? I hope "Bang #1" wasn't just faking his death.
