This is the facebook string that goes with the picture of our new fishies, Barack & Joe. Apparently, my sister Sandra finds us odd! She's proud we're related, but odd none the less. Well, if she thinks that's odd, it's a good thing she lives way up North in Sturgeon Falls.
Today, Bob found my blow dryer in the bathtub. The cord all wrapped up nicely and yes in the middle of my bath tub. There's a perfectly good explanation for it. It's not like the time I put my curling iron in the fridge and had no way to explain it. (I'm assuming I was distracted and doing a few things at once.)
The blow dryer wasn't working right this morning. Half power and just weird. So, I turned it off. It was hot, I smelled electrical hotness, I unplugged it and smelled it, it smelled fine. I then think maybe the outlet is the problem? I feel it, it's cool, I feel all around it, it's cool. Oh, I use the basement bathroom which is important to the story.
I go to the back part of the basement as I decide I should check the wires where they go to the panel box. This is through a door and in a different room. You have to turn a light switch on waaaay in the back to see there. All is well at the panel box. I decide, ok then, it's the blow dryer and place it in the middle of the bath tub figuring that should it erupt into flame it can do no harm there! See? Makes perfect sense.
The story once told to Bob then explained to him why the light was on waaay back in the basement behind the furnace. I had forgotten to turn it off. Now once I heard that I thought how silly of Bob not to see the blow dryer, see the light on waaaay back by the panel box and not just figure the whole thing out! It's so obvious!
Odd? I think not!
