* * * * * No, no, I told you to set the alarm clock! Ah, nothing like waking up to the sounds of the house alarm going off. I don't think I ever mentioned the house alarm here at the Facility in the Middle of Nowhere, but we have one. And from what I understood, it was inactive (but for some extra money a month it could be, maybe—never really looked into it). But here it was, this morning, going off like a banshee. Spring [1] called up The Office to no avail—they didn't know anything about the alarm and were amazed that we had one. Yes, we have one. A loud one. One that won't shut up. After a continuous twenty minutes, it finally shut up. [1] http://www.springdew.com/ Email Sean Conner at sean@conman.org .
