Weirdness
There's been some weird stuff happening around here this week.
I was working from home the other day. I was watching 'The Ring 2' on cable, talking to Kelli on the phone, and just vegging in front of the laptop on the couch. The power went out ... the phone line went dead, I lost the network connection to my laptop and it kicked to battery back up. The AC turned off, and the ceiling fan stopped. The fish tank stopped bubbling. Everything in the house went still, except for the TV and the movie on cable. The power flicked on and off several times (three, that I can remember ... Kelli kept calling back asking why I hung up on her). I never lost the TV and movie. It was possessed!!
Then the next day, I was putting the lawnmower away (under the house - I have a huge crawl space). I'd had the lawnmower out for days, just hadnt bothered to put it away. The door to the crawlspace was closed, but not latched. I went around to the backyard, and was attacked by two of my dogs .. Willow and Bailey. I called for Riley, no dog. He sometimes ignores my calling, so I didnt think anything of it. I opened up the crawlspace door, and .... ABRACADABRA, there he was! Somehow, he must have gotten the door open ... gone in ... and one of the other dogs had closed it (or it had slammed closed). I've never seen him do anything even related to opening a door, he's timid about new things except for eating hair scrunchies, towels and clothes, and/or digging holes. Maybe one of the other dogs put him in there ... Willow? Bailey?
Maybe I've got a Gremlin ...

Umm isn't The Ring about some sort of poltergiesty thing? I haven't seen either version but that was the impression that the commercials left with. So mayhap it's real and it's now in your house?
Or if that's too freaky, umm umm maybe you had another mini fire in your fuse box? Tis why the power flickered. And Riley went in to investigate it. Or maybe he lifted his leg to put it out.
Then again, have you left Riley alone with Alan? Maybe Alan is teaching him new tricks.....
