So the ethernet cable healed itself. Funny that the high-speed died at 8:08 am Thursday and healed itself late Friday afternoon. Sounds like scheduled maintenance to me. "Admit nothing" however is the mantra of the tech gods.

All has fallen back into place and I can return to the important task of searching ebay under "vintage adidas" and gaze at sneakers I bought 25 years ago for $19.99 selling for $150.00. I can do that because it is going to rain all day. It rained all night and last evening. Soccer turned into a practice as Belleville's Old Timers were contacted in a tavern there at 7 pm to let them know that the game was still on. 401 traffic was slow so they showed at 9 pm after the nets had been taken down, after the field got supersaturated, after we did an hour of crosses under the lights in rain so heavy is started getting thick, jelly-like. Massive fun. I trust that they found solace amongst the fine establishments of Kingston town .
