Default Power failures in NW

Doesn't Tom live in the North West? Maybe he's got the power failure so he can't
get on the internet. See, if he lived aboard a sailboat he could get on using a laptop and
wifi. There's not many posts lately, maybe there's power failures all over. There was a
big solar flare the astronauts on the space station had to hide from. That's another good
reason to live in a boat. Water blocks the bad rays. That's what the astronauts hide behind.
Water.


So what "WiFi" would be operating if they had a general outage? And
exactly how do you hide behind water on a boat? Crawl under the water
tank?
