This kind of thing cracks me up

Manage your account, check for outages, report service interruptions, and troubleshoot your equipment

How are you going to report a service interruption if you're out? You see this instruction all the time, right?

This is the reason (OK, a reason) why you don't want to get your internet and you phone service from the same provider (looking at you, Comcast). If things go down, it all goes down at once. I learned that lesson a long, long, long time ago. The trick is to spread your failures around.

So it's unanimous?

I was at the drugstore, the check-out person is sort of chatty and there was nobody else in line; we were talking about cities we wouldn't mind living in and she said, she was trying to talk her husband into retiring in the South.

I said, Florida?

She said, Not necessarily.

I said, Just anyplace it doesn't snow?

And four people standing within earshot said, in chorus, Yes!

And it's not even December yet.

Get a running start to your morning
