Well, the hits just keep coming

Last night we were hit by massive storms here in the Midwest. Fortunately, we didn't get any major damage, but a bit ago, when my husband tried to turn on MS NOW - zip, nothing. He called the cable company and learned that our cable is torched. They won't be able to get over to repair it until tomorrow afternoon. So, we missed Colbert last night and will miss him again tonight - for his last week of shows. No MS NOW, no Colbert, no mindless distractions.

Grrr! Where is that bottle of Chardonnay?

Or somewhere else to get a Firestick, you can stream it if you have your cable provider’s app.

But we have a dumb tv and the nearest Best Buy is 30 miles away. I guess I'll have to listen to MS NOW online.

My husband is checking out Amazon Prime. Apparently, that's still working.
