Settled in for an evening of marginal video entertainment wnen the picture fractured to a multicolored mush.
Tried all the channels and the arcane electronic trickery that usually brings results. Nothing.
Who to blame? Covid? Those evil White Supremacists? Or maybe Putin, that mad Russian remnant from the Soviet era?
That's precisely the kind of thing his accomplices in the Kremlin would try to do to get the attention of those meddlesome westerners. Maybe now's a real good time for them to show off superior Russki electronic technology.
What about the internet? Jamming the video channels only would still leave us access to the social media. Frightening thought.
Dashed up the stairs and triggered the mouse on my desk. The net immediately sprang to life.
What a relief! So now it will be unnecessary for us to re-learn how to make innocent personal chit-chat.
The idea that eventually we might have been reduced to actually having to read something was almost too frightening to think about..
