If you said, "The theme to the Flintstones, the animated Hanna-Barbera TV show, first airing in 1960. Oh, and they were from the town of Bedrock," you get 10 bonus points. For a follow-up question worth 10 more bonus points: what TV foursome were Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty inspired by? If you said, "The Honeymooners," you win the bonus points.
Going back to your childhood, Jim? That's cute that you think I ever left it. Alas, we were thrust back into the Stone Age yesterday: our Cox internet and cable TV went out. There was a very short blip of the power, followed by no connection. Steph kept us informed with the status with Cox... "Your internet should be restored by 4:15 pm"... "Your internet should be restored by 8:15 pm"... "Your internet should be restored by 12:15 am." Not sure why that 15 minutes after the hour is significant, but the restoration didn't happen.
We went old school: internet connection via our phone hotspots (like we do when we're out traveling). We happen to have the flat over the air antennas behind each of our TVs (so much for Netflix and Hulu). Joan gave Steph and Dan the antenna we had in the Aspect so they could get TV.
Now, Cox thinks the issue is something withing our house. In the meantime, we soldier on... I had to turn on a lamp by actually twisting the knob on it - that's right, Alexa doesn't work without internet.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: The internet went out yesterday; my wife and I were forced to spend the evening in conversation... she seems nice. (yuk, yuk)
