Adapters
Back online after moving across the bay to Pleasant Hill. Offline for over a week was weird, but rattled my cage in many good ways. My fingertips are sore from lifting, moving and handling too many cardboard boxes.

Enduring the conditions of disaster recovery from moving many boxes of life’s accumulations requires more forethought than I had prepared for. For example, these adapters are becoming more and more common, and their fine in their place, but dislocate them from their intended connected mate, and Jim, we’ve got a problem. The conversion of AC power to DC batery storage has created an explosion of these wall socket devouring devices. One might wonder, why can’t these items be made smaller and more tidy. My Sony Cybershot camera AC recharger is larger than the camera! I had several panic atttacks trying to find misplaced the special AC chords that connect into the DC rechargers.

The philosophical words of Swami Sivananda, “Adapt, Adjust, Accomodate” came to mind while dealing with the gross material details of relocating my life. Practice this and you will be rewarded, and better yet be sure to package batteries and cables with their respective tools.

For more tales of adapters, see my pre-blogging story, “Beta Test”, in Media Spin’s Horror Story section.
