iffy connectivity

[redbird]

There was no internet or phone connectivity here for most of the afternoon; this was annoying, given that the plan had been to use the internet to sort out what we would do in the evening. (Before I realized the phone was also not working, I was thinking "I can call Cattitude and ask him to email rysmiel and say "call me.") I resolved the problem by staying at the known location, figuring (correctly) that rysmiel, not being stupid, would come home and we would take things from there.

However, at this point I don't want to count heavily on any of this behaving better tomorrow. *sigh* (My cell phone doesn't work in Canada, and the iPod is maddening to try using for email or the web.) But it will be okay now that I'm aware of the possibility of it going wrong.
