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."

A Good Christion Lion
A missionary was walking in Africa when he heard the ominous padding of a lion behind him. "Oh Lord," prayed the missionary, "grant in Thy goodness that the lion walking behind me is a good Christian lion."
