2012 November 12 The Internet went off around noon today and after supper I went downstairs to the kitchen where Harry was using his laptop. I asked him if he had the Internet and he said no and mentioned that he tried to reset the modem but it didn’t work. Just then Paul came in and overheard the conversation and said that he knew what the problem was and asked if we could live without the Internet for a few days. With that comment, I assumed the Internet service was cut off because he hadn’t paid his bill. After 7 PM I went to Tim Horton’s and accessed the free WiFi Internet to check my e-mails.

UPDATE: The internet wasn’t reconnected until Nov. 21.
