Weekly Reflection

The city is still recovering from the ice storm. NES, our power company, did not prepare for the storm. They didn’t have enough staff for the aftermath and took days to get outside help. When power returned, my desktop computer could not find the wireless keyboard, so I couldn’t even log in. I had to switch to a corded keyboard. Eventually I figured out that while the desktop was powerless, the keyboard had connected to my laptop. I disconnected it and re‑connected it to the desktop.
