Glad to finally see some coverage on this!

Canada, USA, Paraguay, Germany. For a while, Brazil, Columbia, The Netherlands, and The Cayman Islands were on that list, too.

Yeah, it shows off the machines really nicely, displays them like they’re art.

That sucks. Sounds like you two need to work on your communication.

I started The Hands Of The Emperor by Victoria Goddard last week (so good!), and tore through all 900 pages of it in a few days. Found out there’s a sequel - At The Feet Of The Sun - and poured that one into my brain as well (even better than the first!). Now I’m reading my way through the novellas that are in between those two behemoths.

Loose screw on the neutral bar. Maybe it loosened over time, maybe it was never tightened correctly to begin with. Probably both. Regardless, when the gap got big enough and the excess current on that circuit went back through the neutral, it overheated to the point of melting. Good thing you shut that circuit down, you very likely prevented a fire!

Now the big question is, why didn’t the breaker trip on its own?

Photo?

How long is your scarf? It’s difficult enough to find the 10-12’ space for a standard length scarf, but I know that Dr. Who scarves are considerably longer.

This makes a near-perfect opening shot for a grim, mid-apocalyptic movie

Absolutely!

 
 

I missed out on much of the Halloween fun as a kid (thanks to my very religious upbringing) and am picking up the slack now as an adult.

This year we watched Hocus Pocus, the original Beetlejuice, Blade, and Interview With The Vampire. The up next list includes The Fly, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and Labyrinth.

What else should I add to this list?

 

Technically they're littermates...

 

Obligatory not-my-cat. This is Holly, the new smol. She’s eating the stick end of a feather toy. I’m told it’s the tastiest part.
