Crisis Averted!!

So, yesterday, the temperature finally climbed up into the 80s. I had the windows open most of the day, as we're trying to delay putting on the air conditioner as long as possible, but when it was time for the Impossible Son's soccer practice, it was getting stuffy in the house. I told the kids I'd have to turn the A/C on when we got home to cool

So what is the flux capacitor joke?

And OMG it's barely the beginning of spring here, with night/early morning temperatures not much above freezing half of the time, and you need cooling already!

A flux capacitor is a necessary part of whatever essential vehicle or transportation device exists in a science fiction television show, movie, or book, that is doomed to fail and cause as much dramatic tension as is necessary until the situation is resolved. No one is exactly sure what the flux capacitor actually does, exactly, but its failure will cause your space ship, warp drive, or time machine to just... not work until someone comes up with a miraculous fix or go-around, enabling the story to move forward at the last possible second. It was first used in the movie Back to the Future, and has made tribute appearances in science fiction series ever since
