Update: I will not be downing our phone system as it is internet based and the throngs of people updating Facebook with, "We drove to flyover country to watch the eclipse", are taking care of that for me.

I'm clicking Send one more time. If you're reading this, it worked.

Internet and VOIP are out at office. Verizon from my phone is sketchy. Over a million people pouring into the area and updating Facebook will do that I guess

People are pouring into the area to watch the eclipse.

  • Schools are out.
  • A lot of state employees only working a half day.
  • We're being told to treat the roads as if there is a snow emergency. Traffic is that bad.

Half expecting to be told to bang on pots and pans to scare the dragon away from the sun or some such.

I suppose I will down the phone system and we'll go outside and watch the real event - State police ticketing everyone who ignores the flashing signs saying "Do not pull over to watch the eclipse"

Everyone needs more Godzilla movies.

@kdfrawg It's shameful.

I tend to gravitate towards them as well. In here, the Mac and Windows solar keyboards. Two Logitech mice and I believe my Windows system has a Logitech surround sound system. At work, I tend to ship their mice and keyboards. Also have a solar on my main development machine.

I would have preferred she be able to use the 6000 to enjoy herself with though.

@kdfrawg It's absolutely insane how inflated the prices for simple equipment are. With the exception of a complicated valve, the pump unit is no more complicated than one you'd buy for a large aquarium.

If I wasn't around or hadn't the means to help her, I don't know what she'd do.

People going on about the health care system seem to ignore the real problem.

6000.00 for a small, battery powered oxygen pump. Ridiculous.

Note: Not for me. My mother. They kept declining it on Medicare so I just bought the damned thing for her.

Looks nasty.
