Infinite Energy Puppy Day 3
What Could Go Wrong, the Ongoing Saga

At 4 am the lights went out in my home office. Since my office was my laboratory as well, I immediately got out of bed and made my way downstairs to my improvised recovery room. I wanted to make sure Infinite was o.k. As I passed through the foyer heading to the laboratory, I smelled pizza and saw a Dominoes box on the ground. Then I smelled cigarette smoke.
I was perplexed, had some kids got into the house ordered a pizza and were smoking in my house? I heard a high twined voice amplified coming out of the recovery room. I entered the room and realized that the power was only off in the house, not the lab. I found Infinite sitting in front of the computer watching Netflix. 101 Dalmatians was playing at 20x speed. The sound was muted but Infinite had one USB in the computer and the other in my iPhone.
How did he get my iPhone? How did he plug it in? How did he log onto my computer? And why were there pizzas remnants all over the lab? I picked up a piece of pepperoni off my favorite down comforter. I heard an amplified voice over my Bose Sound System, “I will be right with you Steve.” I looked around for the person who said that. I then heard “help yourself to some Root Beer” and I saw Infinite pointing with his Antennae to the Root Beer. He then reinserted his USB antennae into the computer.
“I will be off the phone in a minute”, and he winked at me. Infinite had learned English in 6 hours and how to use the phone, computer, and program an electronic voice into the computer. He then switched to a Spanish News channel and said “Hola Muchacho, Que Tal?” I said without thinking, “bien y tu?” at which he said, ’Muy bien, gracias.” I suddenly realized I was speaking Spanish with my 10-week-old puppy. He seemed fluent.
I asked in English why he learned Spanish. His reply did not surprise me. The pizza delivery man was from Honduras. “Nesecitaba hablar contigo”
Ok, that made sense, but how did you order a pizza?
“I used your iPhone.”
“How did you dial? How did you get my Phone anyway?”
“You left it in the kitchen, and I used the voice speed dial. I tipped him twenty percent by the way.”
“How did you know, how to do that though, oh forget it, if you learned English and Spanish in six hours I am sure you could figure out how to order a pizza too.”
“Oh, I learned all the languages not just English and Spanish.”
I then spied the pack of cigarettes. Marlboro Reds. I asked if he had company, and he said “no”. I was afraid to ask where or why they were there, so I just let it slide.

“What happened to the lights in the house?”
“I read all the articles on Global Warming and decided the lights were not necessary.” I asked him to please turn the lights back on.
He asked me “all of them or just ours?”
“All of them,” and then got worried. “What do you mean by all of them?” I looked out the window into a sea of darkness, where there should have been a thousand lights, I saw none. Then thousands came back on, and I heard transformers exploding randomly and patches of darkness reappearing. Oh boy this was going to be a long day. What else could possibly go wrong?
