I woke up yesterday to: no home internet; no mobile connection. I own no broadcast tv service. (Why yes, I am a Canadian Rogers customer).

I literally started searching through my junk to see if I owned a radio of any kind, just to try to hear news of what the hell was going on.

Eventually I gave up and walked to the library instead, discovering 500 other people in the same situation sharing the wifi.

Time to invest in a nice radio for emergencies.

Hopefully librarians can use this incident to lobby for funding, as "community internet access of last resort".

No car with a radio?

[mabbo]

.... Dammit.

The car is in the basement garage of the condo and basically "out of sight, out of mind". It literally never occurred to me.

Since he walked to the library, I am going to guess "no car at all".

Nah, I just live in a very walkable area of Toronto and use my car maybe once a week at most, and then just to get groceries. Otherwise, I use transit and walk everywhere.

Driving to the library would be more of a hassle than just walking. It's maybe 7 minutes away.
