It was really eerie. I immediately slammed the lid down so it wouldn't fry my laptop, which it did not, but it made a believe out me.<br /><br />Ahhhh... M.Lee! Wonderful to hear from you. I believe this is the first time you have ever commented on my blog. I take the fact that you rose beyond your suffering, risking even the dreaded data cap, a true measure of the total awesomeness of our electronic visitation last night. asha https://www.blogger.com/profile/13624209187109099166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752461.post-11268845184928739222013-08-20T17:03:17.386-07:002013-08-20T17:03:17.386-07:00It fried the thermostat, the A/C, a router, the ca...It fried the thermostat, the A/C, a router, the cable connection for TV and internet, the stove, the garage door opener. These things were widely dispersed around the house. It was like being bombed with a combination of an actual loud bomb and a massive EMP. I sit here in my sweat, windows open, smelling the salty rot of Alligator Creek, "real Florida" as she says, and I eke out a trickle of internet from my phone, but not too much or I'll trigger the secret cap and lose my favorite phone number. Yeah yeah, first world problems, whatever, the suffering is still REAL, man.M.
