Frank and Ernest by Thaves for January 11, 2023

I sent an email to my neighbor apologizing for using his wife while he was away. He left her for cheating on him. Then I sent another email correcting my typo, “I meant wi-fi.”

Read about a guy that did an illegal hook up to his neighbor’s house power line. Fire department managed to save most of both houses.

Reminds The Count of college (Faber, where Knowledge is Good) where someone’s cable box looked like an octopus eating spaghetti.

Someone said good fences make good neighbors.

Hey boys… The workshop is about Energy Bars such as Clif, Kind and Power Bar… mosey on in… they have beaucoup samples…! You’ll getta charge out of it…!

Unless the neighbor discovers it and beats you.

Some years ago, I read about someone who lived under power lines. He rigged up an induction coil in his attic and was able to extract significant amounts of energy to run his house. Eventually did get caught though.

ah… the rats of NIMH

It’s important to be part of a connected community. Warm, flowing relationships are essential.

I once worked in a building that sub-let a portion to a separate business. When a new owner bought out the company I worked for he went next door to met the tenant and noticed a large amount of extension cord going to a group of outlets. He came to find out the original owner, some three previous to himself had agreed to continue pay for a breaker panel that was tied into the main building. So the tenant a local hospital that used the building for storage had tried to run all their equipment to this one panel. The new owner a lawyer promptly had the panel disconnected.

Somebody needs to tell them that it’s considered illegal, and they could get jail time for it.
