"Lightning Crashes"

Here we are at the university's computer lab. About a week ago our house (or our street or our electrical box) got struck by lightning. We lost power in the middle of the night, but luckily were able to restore it by resetting our fuse box. But alas! When we went to my (Vicky's) office the computer wouldn't turn on, nor would the printer. I'm sure all of you are saying, "But Vicky, what about your power surge protector?" HA! I didn't have one. My laptop got fried!!! Good thing I've been backing up my hard drive. The computer place confirmed my suspicions, too. Yep, your computer is fried.

No worries, friends, as we speak a new laptop is on the way thanks to Homeowner's Insurance. Don't own a home without one!
