temporary luddite
i got home last night to find that the internet wasn't working... "wtf?" i said. the router was flashing the lights that indicate something was wrong. i decided to check the phone. no dial tone.
20 minutes of a phone call later, a tds tech has to make sure it's okay with at&t that they come out and see what's wrong cuz the line-test "strongly indicated the problem is outside the home".
in other news: i've gotten two responses to my craigslist post, neither of them the guy in question. i also did not see him yesterday on the same walk at the same time.
