The yellow lined area is not a parking space. The space is left open for ramps on vehicles that need an extra side space to get in and out of and extend the ramp.

When I started calling the hardware store the toy store my family thought I was saying tool store. Then at one point someone paid attention to my excitement for a trip and what I actually said. Much eye rolling.

If my girls' light goes out when it's supposed to be on, and they are on timed cycles, I want an alarm. Messing with those light and dark cycles can mess your flowers up. Same for the water pumps, fans, etc. depending on the setup. I imagine with some pets like exotic fish or reptiles you'll want extra notice if their habitat is going awry before they get ill.

Maybe something is tripping a breaker and they wanna know when it's happening while they track the cause and repair. Or an out building/shed/coop has issues with weather and shoddy power stability, needs that breaker flipped again.

Possibly a deep freezer that doesn't have it's own No Power alarm, or that function broke, and they want to have that peace of mind back.

I've known many a use for them. If ALL the power is out it's gonna be obvious whatever that's going to is out also. But, for something where you don't go to that space regularly, hard to tell quickly if powered, and has something sensitive needing power they are a nice peace of mind item (that usually costs less than whatever needs power that badly being replaced if you didn'tnotice in time).

My little daydream is that thr judge's terms were something simple like "I want your statement beforehand so I can review it. But, you have to write it yourself, by hand. Your own hand." And he just couldn't muster up the gumption to do his own work.

Just the one guy and his gang huh? Wow. Not another country, not a huge corporation, not one of the rich oligarchs of the world? A former president's secret club. K. Gotcha.

Just wish one of these groups of idiots somewhere was using their, powers of large numbers of stupid people, for some real good.

Amazing work! Thanks so much for your, and all who helped, time for this amusement. How it was still able to vary from the YouTube songs that were posted beforehand was great and had to have taken efforts!

Aha! I knew there was a string adapter for my tin can so I can plug it to my audio jack!

Hahaha!! Oh hell, I feel it. Whoever decided that looped videos and music like that, that the employees can't get away from, should have a special place dedicated to them. It should be considered a form of human torture to put employees through that.

When I worked retail I would take any earworm during the holidays that wasn't Christmas music
