The Truth is out there. Today we’ve had a brown out. (Skeptical. The electric bill must be due) All the lights, or most of them were out or dimmed. The generator power is saved for emergencies and food service. It’s veering on warm in here. What’s next? ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I have a navel clock Please! Post pictures! It sounds as though you had the perfect storm of a power spike affecting those things which were plugged in, and batteries running low on those things which weren’t. You mentioned replacing all the batteries now - is that how you did it the last time? Replaced them all at once? ---

I’ll try to send a picture. I’m not good at it. And I’m not at home for awhile longer. But think of it as a giant pocket watch. I also have a navel ship’s bell. My Daddy was a career Marine he found a way to weasel them out of Navel salvage. ---
