Wireless Conundrum
Some things just make little sense
If we can have wireless electronics like my trusty mouse and headphones why can’t we have wireless electricity and why, although they call it wireless is my internet still connected to lines outside on a pole where wind and rain from a sudden February thunderstorm can knock out the power and ‘net?
These are the troubling thoughts that keep me up all night storming through my mind and the storm rages outside as my world goes silent and dark
