Doomsday Electronics

Fiorella has been pondering her electronic loss. Without her computer activities to divert her, she's turned into a demon housekeeper. Maybe if Mother had had a laptop, she too would have been a slob.

Fio was reading in the paper this morning about the Chinese having infiltrated our systems to gather info about our essential info-structures, especially energy grids. This plays right into something Fio has always asked: "What if God turns off the electricity?" Well, now it looks like we won't have to go that high up the ladder. The Chinese can oblige.

Fio has long had the idea of writing a novel about a family thrown back into a primitive existence by a nuclear attack. But think of how much more devastating merely turning off the electricity would be. I mean, Fio's going crazy with just her laptop being down.
