That's what this was...same thing I guess... They send out a hell of a shock... over high tensile wire. The animals know enough to stay away from them so they rarely ever get a shock.... I took at least 2 or 3 pulses from the fence that day. Wouldn't have been nearly so bad if there hadn't been so much groundwater all over the place... It was very nasty... Thought maybe I was a goner when it was happening.

Just watching the "baby" crows out on the lawn. They know how to look for bugs and worms in the grass because I've been seeing them out there all week. However, whenever a parent crow lands out on the lawn, they follow it around with their beaks open, making this horrible "Feed Me!!!" noise. The parent quickly looks for a couple of worms, feeds the babies and then takes off and goes off into the trees... (-:

I did something really, really dumb when I was a teenager. I wanted to open up the front of a window airconditioner, it had frozen up, and I wanted to open it up so the ice would melt faster. I turned off the unit, but I didn't unplug it. And I didn't have a screwdriver so I used a kitchen knife with a wooden handle to jimmy it open. When the metal touched something inside that had juice in it, it melted the tip of the knife, and I had a long skinny burn on the palm of my hand from the strip of metal that was between the two pieces of the wooden handle. After that I became a believer in always unplugging.
