Before dawn today somebody cut eight fiber optic cables serving land lines and cell phones in the areas around San Jose (and incidentally, Santa Cruz). The effect was massive: ATM machines and emergency services were also cut off. Also, no internet. No email.

It meant that lots of people in our area couldn't even call an ambulance.

On my part, I didn't get the car to the vet the last few days and it ran out of charge again, this time for no reason at all. Also, I haven't seen my cell phone in five days.
