Iced maybe, but cold?

Ok, I think we all what they mean. This gas station/convenience store probably has started selling iced coffee.

But that's not what it says. For me, the sign conjures up images of a cup of coffee that's been sitting around on my desk for an hour or so. Ughhhh!

So here's a thought...if I want cold coffee, I can let it sit around on my desk all by myself. And it won't be very good.

Here's your sign....

Gremlins?

Last night (really this morning) the strangest thing happened.  I woke up at 3:30 am, and I heard voices from my den.  Yes, I live alone, so that was NOT good!

Let me back up.  Last night I fell asleep in the den, which probably happens to me once or twice a week.  It happens when I'm watching TV and don't realize how tired I am.  Well, when I woke up I turned off the TV and headed to bed.  I was very sure I did this, because my dog Elphie headed toward the bed when the TV went off.  She always does this.

So, it's about 3:30.  I am suddenly awakened by the sound of voices.  Down the hall I see light -- light that I am sure I didn't leave on.  You can bet the adrenaline kicked in!  What do I do?  Do I quietly call 911 on my cell phone?  Do I get up and challenge the intruders?  Do I "play dead" and let them take my stuff because I don't know whether they have a gun? 

So I lay there.  Thinking.  Listening.  And as I did I got my wits about me and realized that the conversation was very relaxed for someone breaking into a house.  Yep, you got it -- I was hearing voices from the TV, which was on for some reason.

I turned it off.  I know I did.  Elphie is my witness.  So I stood there wondering...why in the world did someone break into my house, find the universal remote, turn on the Control 4 system, select TV from the remote, turn it on, and then leave, locking all the doors behind them?  Cause that must have happened!

Either that, or my TV system has gremlins.
