You Won't Like Me When I'm Angry

Apparently Israel has an evil sense of humor, or at the very least a little vindictive streak.

Our preparations (mine to sell our belongings, and Michelle's to complete her school work) were interrupted last night when our entire building and several others lost power. The electricity came on relatively quickly, and though the outage was not super convenient, we didn't think much more of it.

Until today when Michelle's computer monitor stopped working. This wouldn't be so bad except that its apparently hard to do research and write papers with no monitor. It also makes it hard to watch our slingbox. Broken monitors also don't have quite the resale value of working ones.

I guess you know how the old Yiddish saying goes..."Man plans and God laughs, and Israel laughs, points, and gives you a wedgie."

At least all you need is a monitor. We had the very same thing happen about a month ago in the office building and on one of the main computers we use the monitor was just fine but the hard drive somehow had all the files wiped off it. It wouldn't even boot up. The rest of the computers in the building were fine. Happy
4th of July to you guys!
