I've experienced my own personal loss of phone service, so I've been
off-net for the day.  My home phone went dead yesterday, no dialtone.
When you call the number, Josh answers.  As far as I know, no Josh is
living in my apartment.  Naturally Pacific Bell Telephone says nothing
is wrong with their lines, so it must be my telephone that is broken,
and it will be $45 if pacbell looks a it.

In other news, MasterCard International is building a new international
datacenter outside of St. Louis (O'Fallon).  St. Louis had about 9 inches
of rain, and MasterCard had some unplanned water intrusion.
