Saturday, November 29, 2008 - Foscue Creek Park, Demopolis AL

Checking the weather on my iPod Touch, Nov 29, 2008

Even my thermometer stopped working

Heck, I couldn't even check the temperature without sticking my head out the door. To say nothing of not having the internet to research my loss of access. Hoo...yeah... Right.

As far as I can tell the problem was a Verizon glitch that my modem reported as "No carrier detected - check your phone line."
