Yes, But Will The Ark Have Wireless?
Third floor, flooded!

It's been a rough couple hours here at headquarters... a broken valve caused a series of alarms, a minor flood, and a mini-evacuation (full disclosure: I evacuated to a nearby CVS for a Skor bar. Remember those? Delish.) However, our internet connection ebbed a bit, so apologies for any comments that didn't get posted in a timely manner. There's no way to say this without sounding either gauche or naive, but when the internet goes down, it's completely paralyzing. You know that feeling when the power's out, and you keep flipping the switch on anyway? The whole afternoon felt that way... I had to reacquaint myself with the physical paper, which I found, to my horror, was filled with yesterday's news. However, the pictures are better, and to be honest, it felt delightfully retro to drive home with ink under my fingertips. Even better, I discovered a few quirky stories hiding in the back of the Times, that I would have missed without the mini-flood. I see what Neal's talking about with his "daily ink transfusion," but for me, I absorb the light from my computer monitor like a solar power; here's hoping I can get my fix again tomorrow.
