Twilight Zone

So most people have heard of the fiber wires that were vandalized sometime in the super early morning hours of April 9. I mean it was national news, you couldn't really miss it. But let me tell you what it was like to experience it: ridiculous.

First of all, most of us don't realize how much we lean on technology. Yesterday morning chaos hit. Imagine having no phone lines, cell phones, internet, computer systems, debit and check systems, bank access, can't even call 911, and I'm pretty much describing all forms of communication. It really sucks.

I was working that morning at good old Trader Joe's and work was hectic. Customers were pissed off, we were pissed off, everyone was in the bitter barn. A news team for channel 8 came in and taped us working (really awkward when you hear you were on TV but you didn't see it). I couldn't even get lunch on my break because I had no cash and there was no way to get cash. Good thing I work in a grocery store. 

The creepiest part though, it almost felt like there was silence everywhere. It's like all the towns just stopped functioning. Seriously a Twilight Zone episode. Whoever those people were that vandalized the lines to prove a point: NOT COOL. 

There is an award of $250,000 if someone knows who did it. Man I wish I was like a psychic right now.
