The internet went down, taking part of the house with it, but is still working




That's right, at the Mirror Maze, we get internet service via giant icicle. A few days ago, I heard a loud crash, and looked outside to find that the internetcicle had fallen, taking some of the siding of the building with it. If you look closely in the photos, slightly behind the main internetcicle you can see the large blocks of ice that used to be part of it before it fell. I took some pictures the next day, and we debated appropriate captions for the situation. After tossing around various "frozen" puns, we settled on Eric's concise, "the internet is down, but still working."

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how bizarre you like your life, the past couple days have melted the ice, but the thing is still hanging there on the cables, so we still have to be careful to mind the internet while taking out the trash.

And, while I'm posting photos, a couple weeks ago Eric, Mitka, and I decided that the best use of City Hall was as a snowball fight venue.
