Internet outage

I was surprised by how isolated - kind of paralyzed - I felt with neither Internet nor phone.

When I had my house built in Troncones, there was no internet service and no telephone service. It would have been difficult as there was no electricity.

I had to walk about four kilometres to get to a telephone casita (does anyone remember those?) wondering whether they would have service. I’m glad I had the good sense to enjoy it while it lasted.

Now we have electricity, telephone, internet.

I miss the old days when I could go to Troncones and be in my “Fortress of Solitude”.
