How would that happen? Simple. Let’s back up a bit. A while ago I had an issue with a timer that controlled some external lights. An electrician said the wiring wasn’t up to the holy code, and he’d have to put in a small metal box and charge a large fee. I got a pang in the left buttock where the wallet is located, as though Andrew Jackson were trying to chew his way out and protest, so I asked whether there was an alternative.
