WOW, we had a week of gas vanishing. In some locations, it is still not available as it was the week before. Why? Well, unless you do not listen to any news, it was because of a ransomware attack supposedly perpetrated by Russia hackers named DarkSide. This attack was on Colonial Pipeline, that controls a…
I have recently received emails asking why I have missed a few articles over the last couple of weeks. Thanks for asking, and I have responded to each of your inquiries. For those others who may have been wondering, I will talk personally and off tech for a moment. In mid-April, I was in a…
