I am able to get out to my sites, including Blackboard, again. Very responsive at the moment. Typing quickly in case there are more problems.
By the way, I have no idea how to tell what is going on. I couldn't get to our Blackboard system. I checked other systems and I could get to some but not others. I called Telecomm and asked if there was some kind of network event taking place. They said, "Yes." I called my sister-in-law in Pennsylvania and her see if she could get to our Blackboard site. She could. I could get to my Google portal, but there was nothing in the tech news feeds about any network situation.
So I don't have any secret way of knowing what is going on outside of my experience. Wish I did.
