The Canary in the Cave

 

You’re going to think I’m making this up, but I’m not.

 

Our TV would not function properly this morning, so we ran through all the little things we knew to do, in our attempt to solve the problem.  Even though, we had no clue what the problem was. 

Unplug and plug back in.  We did that a few times.  Check the batteries in the remote.  We did that and they tested low, so we replaced them, but it didn't solve anything.

Then we noticed the outside temperature was not showing up on our gizmo.  Then we noticed the small camera we have in our mailbox was not working.  That dings and shows us when something gets put into the box.

Seeing that had failed, we checked the nightlight in the laundry room.  That was not working, so we went out into the garage and checked the small fridge.  It was off.

I pushed the reset button on the outlet where the fridge was plugged in and everything sprung to life.

So, I have to ask…  Why is our television, which sits across the house from the garage fridge, connected to things like our mailbox and the outside temp gizmo and the nightlight in the laundry room?

 

Maybe the dryer vent was clogged.
