Well, That Was Fast! (Car Fixed)

[canyonwalker]

The car breakdown we suffered last night turned out to be a simple repair. Barely 5 minutes after I left the shop the owner called me back to say the problem was solved. I missed his call because I was still walking home (it's a 6-7 minute walk) and didn't notice the phone ringing in my pocket. 🤣

The problem was even simpler than the starter motor. It was a bad battery. That was weird because the battery still held charge, could power the accessories, and could turn the starter motor. But the mechanic replaced the battery, and everything worked normally.

Now if only I could find someone that skilled and quick to fix our broken Internet connection— which has been busted for 72 hours and counting, and won't be fixed for at least another 8 hours. 😡

Oh noooo!

I hope the internet gets fixed soon! It is so irritating that it is not yet recognized as a necessary public utility and treated as such (not that public utilities are always managed well in this country in the first place...)

Yeah, part of the problem is that internet service isn't recognized widely enough as a necessity for modern life. Especially when it comes to mobile internet service (with smartphones) an apparent majority of our political leaders still regard it as a "nice to have", something between a toy and a luxury good.
