Locked out of the internets tubes

You may have noticed, if you're a regular, I'm reactionary and a sometime encourager. I don't come up with the "big ideas" without some source to get me thinking. I don't write essays out of whole cloth.

Currently all my attempts to access sites are timing out. Without the online dictionary and access to other blogs and online news sources, this guy can't really blog.

I have no idea what's going on. Perhaps this post won't work. If it does, I promise I'll return as soon as the internets tubes allow.
