the Walnut Diary

A bolt of lightning on the afternoon of June 10th seems to have knocked out a component on our home Internet service, so I posted this here in case anyone is trying to contact any Croskery family members by email.

UPDATE:  11:47.   Looks as though a tech is needed, and has been requisitioned.  Don’t know when he’ll get to the farm to make repairs.

UPDATE: June 12, 5:00 p.m.  Power restored:  the Bell Canada guy found a couple of new wires on the big cable out at the road and announced he’s putting in for a new service to Mom’s phone.  After two afternoons of work the WTC Internet guy has replaced everything from the pole to the router, but the family Apples are back online.  My son’s auto lift in his shop also popped its breakers, though it seems otherwise undamaged.

Lightning is hard on communications equipment, but the TV satellite feed survived.
