Zambia Independence Day |
|
On Saturday morning a
rotten power pole directly outside my place fell over.
This power pole had 3 transformers on it....many hi voltage
powerlines and the 1" fiber optic cable feeding internet
to my building. the fiber optic internet/phone cable was severed.
I will begin doing updates tomorrow on my laptop using my
phone to provide a wifi hot spot. My guess is my internet
connection will not be repaired for a while.
