All the more reason for us to consider that there are lots of idiots running around out there and we need to prepare for whenever we might meet one up close. Law enforcement knows the rule though, the idiot always goes home.<br><br> As to your modem issue, get a high joule rated surge protector(maybe $30 at the most)with a modem connection. This way, the juice runs through the protector and simply throws a switch, thereby protecting one's modem. <br><br>By the way, you know anyone who wants kittens; feline, that is? <br><br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941147537677299174.post-44960834686747531572006-06-07T06:05:00.000-07:002006-06-07T06:05:00.000-07:00Jon, thanks for your advice on the surge protector...Jon, thanks for your advice on the surge protector: unfortunately, I had my computer and its phone line routed through one but I think the outlet was either not grounded or grounded improperly. As to the suspect, I'm very happy that they finally got him, esp., since he was found near you. What is the deal with all of these sexual crimes? Do you think that they are being reported more or that there is a significant uptick in their occurence?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941147537677299174.post-8447379067915059392006-06-07T06:22:00.000-07:002006-06-07T06:22:00.000-07:00James, my modem got fried during an electrical sto...James, my modem got fried during an electrical storm over a year ago even though I was using a surge protector. The only thing that I could deduce was that the surge had come in through the phone line.

Also, the weather was perfect outside but the electricity for no discernible reason went off and then on twice: had it been storming, I would have felt much better. :-) It's like I'm living in Fidel's idyllic haven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941147537677299174.post-67972140466179029022006-06-08T01:30:00.000-07:002006-06-08T01:30:00.000-07:00Joules, boys, joules.
