When Obama came to visit...

our local internet went down.

I was surfing the web right before my lunch break. The internet suddenly went out on the computers at work. We thought it was just our connection or service provider.

So I left, and went to join the crowd waiting to see Obama's motorcade come in. I saw an AWACs aiplane, a 747 I think it was, with a radome on top of it flying overhead. They some security vehicles drove around in circles in the street in front of us. Then Obama rode by, didn't wave or anything, but we saw him.

I stopped off at a convenience store on the way back to work. A Sheriff's Deputy was standing inside the door, and he said "Not today".

I said "What"? The cashier said "I can't sell you anything, the register won't work. The gas pumps won't work either, it's all connected to the internet".

They deputy said the internet would start working when Obama left town, "He's the Commander in Chief, he can do that".
