One day his rabbit “Stuffy” chewed through the lamp cord in the
living room and was immediately electrocuted. This, naturally, made
the little boy curious about electricity. He asked his parents to
explain and they got out the book and told him all about it. They
also told him how dangerous it could be and never to touch the
outlets.
Via Spring,
The
Little Boy Who Stuck His Finger Into The Electrical Outlet
A charming little story about a boy who learned the hard way not to play
with electricity.
It also seems that Spring is enamored (spelled that way because I'm an
American—otherwise there'd be an extra “u” in there somewhere) with the site.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
