could it be??

I appear to be back online and have a working phone again...I am once again a member of the human race. Not going to believe it fully until a few more hours have passed...I'm learning about SBC/AT&T reliability in this area.

Not sure when it came back. It wasn't working, then I went out to run some errands [drop stuff off! buy crates to pack up cube when the time comes! fun!], came back and heard the Gaim <bing-ding> of someone logging in...the sound of civilization.

Okay, off to continue with errands and enjoy being in touch with the modern world [while it lasts]...
