No phone. No E-mail.

I didn't have computer or phone service all day Thursday. The computer said, "You are not connected to the Internet" but it should have added, "because Comcast as screwed up yet again." I finally called them—a process I detest since their recorded message is so repetitively unhelpful—but was finally connected with someone in China or the Philippines. These "reps" are so obsequious, you could hurl the most abusive insults at them and they would say, "So sorry you've feeling distress. I will do my best to remedy the situation." At any rate hours later everything was working again. Why? I will never know. Of course I'm still having trouble with Roku, which only works about half the time. And to think I've recommended it to friends.
