Mysterious invisible waves as a defence

posted in genealogy, technology |

Another of the many “but how will I know if it works” moments; I have just plugged in a pair of technically magical devices, in the RV. Supposed to emit sound waves that I can’t hear, but that the beasts of the fields (OK, mice) will flee.

Now, like anything else that depends on invisible waves, I don’t know how I will know if there is a cause/effect involved. I don’t expect to see the “wee bits” hovering just beyond range. Since I didn’t actually encounter any “wee bits” inside the RV (just collateral elements of proof), I’m going on some assumptions that are hardly proof of anything. But, the transponders are in place, and I will attach any ongoing effects as due to the cause. That’s how science works, right?

Outside, another warm day. I had taken the time to roll up the garden hose (so that the big green machine could do its rounds), and came close to receiving superficial burns. Water filled hose, in the sun; you do the math. Anyhow, our reel can hold everything, which came as an unexpected bonus. We had guessed…

On to other things. One of the fun things about random research (we’re back to genealogy) is when you get a “hit”. In this case, the birth notice, giving the father’s name, and the existence of an identical twin. I now want to know where the twin ended up, who was the mother, did the family have other children? My jigsaw puzzle, with no cover image to guide me. I still think it beats collecting stamps.
