Last night Gary related some news from his Mom. It seems that she had a really bad thunder and lightning storm the other night and lightning struck her patio outside her bedroom window. But even better, er I mean stranger, is that the only thing it hit was her BBQ. It didn't touch the patio, the house or damage her sliding glass window. It did however wake her up and completly destroy the BBQ. I've asked him to get pictures because I want to see if it completely vaporized the BBQ or if it just blew it into a million pieces. Either way it's creepy, funny and off the chart as far as whacked out stories go.
Today, while sitting at my computer something started making a pattering noise. It was like a creaking/bubbling sound. I put my face towards the noise and determined it wasn't my keyboard, tower or my monitor. That left my sunglasses, biz card carrier, some paper work and...the flashlight. The butt end where the batteries are located was definately the source of the sound. Why? I have no fricken clue. What? I can only assume it was the batteries? Freaky? No shit! I don't even know what to say. Nothing like that has ever happened to me and I seriously don't even know how to react. An inanimate object in my house just started making noise that it shouldn't be able to. Now I'm all freaked out that it's leaking radioactive material into the air and I'm going to be glowing soon. Seriously though I really like the flashlight so do I throw it out or brave changing the batteries or just leave it alone now that it's not talking anymore?
