Last week a lightning storm killed the DSL to my house for two days.

And last night a really fierce storm went right over - lightning all around. This storm completely killed my dialup modem with a nasty pop, fucked up my computer ( which thankfully seems to have recovered nearly fully), and either knocked out DSL again or fried the DSL modem.

I had a spare dialup modem laying around, so I'm back online, still waiting for the DSL to connect.

Dialup sucks too - I can't believe I used to accept this snails pace.

I know, I know, I should have had a surge protector on the phone line. I've only had the DSL for a few months, out here in the boondocks, I didn't realize how fragile it can be.
