back in it

It's been a week since the international phone lines and internet access were cut, with no word on when they'd come back. But tonight we came back from dinner, and the internet connection just worked. Today was the first day that the domestic phone lines were up all day. I guess the King-imposed communications-blackout is over. A friend of mine over at myfleecevest.com noted an article from India that was published on February 1st about the lockdown.

We'll never know the story of the US embassy shooting me down about a satellite phone call home. The last four posts were written off-line and back-dated when I uploaded them (which is right now).
