     Funny you should mention that... I had a surreal experience involving a
bunny the day after the hurricane. I was out in the back yard and there was a
huge white bunny rabbit eating my citrus leaves while staring at me. I told the
wife about the bunny, but she just checked me for a fever and looked at me
sadly...until she finally saw the bunny for herself. I considered catching the
bunny, but success would have led to a whole new bunch of problems that I was
just not ready to handle the first day after a hurricane. Since the bunny was
now doing a great job of ignoring me, I decided to follow suit. It was not 5
minutes later, when three young ladies I had never seen before in my life
materialized in an opening where a fence used to be and asked if they could look
around my yard. I was afraid to ask, but you have guessed correctly, they had
lost a big white bunny rabbit!

     Usually 48 VDC. measured open circuit. The ringing voltage is 105 VAC 20
Hz and it will really get your attention!

     Who knows? Animals don't necessarily feel things the same way we do. I
had a pup once chew up a heating pad while it was plugged in (the pad was
plugged in, not the pup). How did he manage that?
