Cobra Commander: What would you have me do with Washington, Destro? Pepper it with spitballs? "G.I. Joe" (1985)

As near as I can figure, the terrarists have won. It seems as though something in Washington DC is down. A major part of the internet, not some flunky intern on the president. I can understand an intern going down all day long but a router, what's the deal with that. The router isn't gaining any prestige or brownie points for that.

Rather bad timing for the ol' JohnCub family. We're on the verge of a major move and I need access to sites like ebaymotors.com and the like. Gotta buy the 1970 Ford Torino GT at a time like this. You know how it is. On a more serious note there are websites I need to access at this time. Moving company websites, utility company websites, my own email server, wikipedia, last minute porn, things like that.

The problem is that since something in dc is down (at&t to be more precise) any server on the east coast is out of it for me. I've spent most of the day on www.InternetTrafficReport.com but that doesn't tell you who the moron is that cut the line, it just tells you what is going on or what isn't. For me, right now, the internet isn't.

Just for the heck of it, a gratuitous link for the guys at InternetTrafficReport.com


The thing about life is that its always a bit of a challenge. This little hump in the road is nothing more than ground swell. We'll get a "funny tummy" from it but the road and the vehicle shall continue on down the road.


Next up: Wait, what's this, the family is moving from the paradise that is upstate South Carolina? (not really, if you haven't put 2 and 5 together by now... well, you're just here searching for slogans for companies ... which this blog has absolutely nothing to do with)
