A Whodunit Mystery...

The mystery neckless...

Could our house be haunted?

or

Can the mystery be explained?

Mystery Solved

So, last night Emilie and I were searching hi and low for the house cordless phone handset but it was no where to be found. The unit has a handy "locator" button that is used for just a situation, so we pressed it. All that did was tell us that the living room handset was in the wrong base up in the bedroom. Therefore, the bedroom handset was still missing.

The ironic thing is that when I called the house on my way home from work, the call was answered using the bedroom handset...

So, where in the world is Waldo the phone handset?!

Good news folks, JoAnne found it this morning...in the refrigerator's cold cut drawer, under the bag of American cheese, go figure! That's going to be a "chilling" next call...

One of Life's (My) Mysteries

OK, show of hands, how many of you have some flavor of a programmable thermostat installed in your house?

That's great, we do too. As a matter of fact we have two, the Lux TX500 pictured above, and have for many years now. Like Tony The Tiger says, "They're GREAT!"

As, you'll see in the above picture there are two numbers; the time on the left and the temperature that's being set on the right. Now, the time flashes or rotates every couple of seconds between the current temperature and the current time. Well, here's my dilemma, and please feel free to tell me I'm crazy -

I would guesstimate that 99% of the time when I look at units the time is displayed. However, that same 99% of the time I do not care what the time is and am only interested to see what the current temperature is.

Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me? The time I lose waiting for the display to change is beginning to eat away at my day.
