Daily Miscellany
Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Squirrel Temporarily Knocks Out Power
https://www.juneauempire.com/news/squirrel-takes-interest-in-electricity-temporarily-knocks-out-power/
My dog Jackie would take care if this squirrel tout-de-suite.
A squirrel interfering with electrical equipment temporarily knocked out power for 15 customers near the Governor’s Mansion, an Alaska Electric Light and Power spokesperson said.
“It happens. They sometimes get where they shouldn’t be,” said Debbie Driscoll, AEL&P’s vice president of consumer affairs in a phone interview. “He basically caused a problem with the fuses.”
AEL&P has closed its lobby, but is maintaining full operations as many other businesses close down to help slow the outbreak of COVID-19.
AEL&P will maintain full service through the outbreak, Discoll said.
“Our crews were on site very quickly, and found it not alive,” Driscoll said. “He-she-it actually caused a fair amount of damage.”
Driscoll says the issue of wildlife causing electrical failures is rare but not unheard of.
Squirrels are a larger issue down south, while birds are a larger problem in Juneau. This is the second incident this year, the first being caused by some manner of bird.

Pet cat becomes 2nd to test positive for coronavirus after its owner infected in Hong Kong
Bear in mind that these tales of dogs and cats getting coronavirus are unknown as to the veracity.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8175135/Pet-cat-second-test-positive-coronavirus.html
A pet cat has tested positive for coronavirus in Hong Kong, in only the second such case in the world
. The city's Agricultural and Fisheries department said the cat was tested after its owner was confirmed as having the virus. 'The cat had diarrhoea, kept vomiting and had breathing difficulties. The researchers found the virus in the cat's faeces,' the country's top virologist said. It is the second cat to test positive after another feline was found to have the virus in Belgium last week. Two dogs have also tested positive, also in Hong Kong, although experts say there is no evidence that pets can spread the virus to humans. (Thought animals couldn't be infected? 'No evidence it cannot transfer' doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.....)

Nothing in the world better than a dog.
This sweet golden retriever is showing that dogs aren’t just man’s best friend—they’re also man’s best neighbor, too.
71-year-old Renee Hellman is just one of many Colorado residents who have isolated themselves in their homes for fear of risking exposure to the novel coronavirus. Since Hellman is also particularly vulnerable to the virus because of her chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, she has been quarantined inside her home in Manitou Springs for more than three weeks.
Hellman’s neighbor of 10 years, Karen Eveleth, knew that she wanted to do something to help her senior neighbor in quarantine—but she didn’t know how to offer any assistance without potentially endangering Hellman.
In a stroke of genius, Eveleth then taught her pet dog Sundance how to deliver groceries to Hellman’s door.
Not only has Sundance been delivering food and meals to Hellman, he has also been retrieving her mail from the postal box.
