Last week the South had an honest to goodness(?) ICE-STORM. You may have
hear about it. I personally had no heat, electricity, or 'net from
Wednesday night until Friday night. My cube-mate still has no utilities
except telephone. We were somewhat fortunate working at Red Hat, as the
company recently finished installing a massive diesel backup generator
big enough to power the whole building (including 3 elevators!) and the
gymnasium has 3 mens and 3 womens showers to keep us from getting too
'ripe'. Where am I going with this you ask? Well I wish I had a camera,
maybe I'll borrow one. I wrote on the white board outside the cube I
threw my air-mattress into:
+--+
| | American Red Cross
+--+ +--+
| | Emergency Shelter for the
+--+ +--+
| | Bandwidth-less.
+--+
(Oh, and no heat or electric shelter, too!)
Looking back on it, it's kind of funny. But don't tell my cube-mate,
she's obviously not in a laughing mood about it yet.
