    One time I had a dog that caused $7,601 worth of damage when it chewed up a fiber optic cable that connected three buildings.

    So was that Mississippi dog a stray? Since it if didn’t have an owner, no one but the counties’ citizens would have to pay for the damages the dog caused.

    Blue Ivy Carter was less than a week old at the time she appeared on a Billboard chart.

    Blue Ivy’s song? Three minutes of newborn crying. But you can dance to it.

    If I remember correctly, I think that Freon became illegal for new product use, coincidently at the same time that Duponts patent on it expired.

    The dog tech disruption thing… Similar service interruptions have been caused by so-called Crazy Ants. For some reason, they are attracted to electrical and magnetic fields. They build nests where such emanations are present and proceed to chew off insulation. They have even been known to infest automobile engines and make cars impossible to start.

    And in Southern Lousiana, nutria are notorious for power disruptions.

    Dang, I thought my Little Oliver was bad! I’m guessing someone’s going to be paying closer attention to his dog!

    Maybe Blue Ivy could hook up with the band Poison.

    It was FAR from eco-friendly. To begin with, it worked with Ammonia, highly toxic. It was a lot better than the existing ones because with no moving parts the chances of leaks were greatly reduced. Besides that, it used fossil fuels to heat the system.

    I had a refrigerator in Scotland that had a pilot light and burner. I have no clue how it worked, but it did. I have a heated water bowl outside for my cat and it has a wire coil around the cord to prevent chewing. You think they would do that for an expensive cable.

    That’s what happens when you leave a dog in Liberty.

    Did the dog belong to Liberty Meadows?

    The first refrigerator to take off was in Ferdy Finkleberger’s back yard on July 4th, 1969.

    Take care, may the gored be with you, and gesundheit.

    Cats in 33 of the 35 cities named Liberty in the U.S.A. will rise up in historic fashion tomorrow election day and stretch, yawn, rollover and go back to sleep.

    Einstein’s refrigerator light was blinding, and had a special shelf for mushrooms,

    As a child I was on TV. My mother made me get off.

    A family was killed when a seal on a refrigerator leaked. Albert Einstein and Leo Szilard were among those upset by the deaths. They worked to create a refrigeration circuit that had no mechanical moving parts. In the Einstein-Szilard refrigerator, liquids and gasses move in closed circuits, with phase changes.

    BION: The Einstein-Szilard refrigerator runs when heat is applied to one of its parts.

    I’ve heard of network outages caused by thieves cutting into conduits and cable bundles looking for copper. In at least one case, one of the results was a 911 outage. In another case, a homeless person was trying to cook some food under a bridge, and started a fire that caused the University of Minnesota to lose Internet service.

    Ah, so that dog is the reason a certain school is closed today! Yeah, the kids that are homeschooling can’t today because of a fiber optic cable.

    They shouldn’t have put the fiber optic cable where a dog couldn’t reach it.

    Sorry, but that cable should not have been exposed. The company’s fault for not protecting it properly
