    So I've heard, and I'm disappointed that we can't view cricket on television here. The only Cricket I've seen in my life is a darts game.

      We connected my new substation to the grid this morning and nothing smoked. Talk about depressing! It's like paying a gazillion bucks to see a F-1 race live and nobody crashes! Or going to a bullfight and having the referees call it a draw. Or attending a cockfight where all the chickens are legless, flightless mutants. Or taking LSD for the first time and seeing only your mother-in-law in the buff. Or marrying your high school sweetheart and realizing on your honeymoon that you'd really rather be with a big, hairy, tattooed biker. Or taking a cruise to Mexico and finding that, because of the swine flu, the ship is only allowed to circle Catalina Island 40 times. Or taking 6 doses of performance enhancing herbal supplements before a date with the girl of your dreams, only to learn over dinner that she wants to be "just friends." Okay, it was less exciting than I thought it would be, but I'm glad it worked as designed... On to the next two on my list. :-D

            When I was a student I asked an Indian and an Englishman at a dinnerparty to explain the rules of cricket to me... Two hours later, we left them in my kitchen still discussing/arguing the rules, to go for a pubcrawl! I still don't have a clue about the rules of cricket, but I understand that it involves a lot of tea.

              Wouldn't it be funny if high school sweetheart is a big, hairy, tattooned biker? :) My older son went to his first date yesterday, he is only 15.

                I'm disappointed in you, Roger. First rule of electrical engineering:

                Tune for maximum smoke.
