electricity is never static


I find it amazing that one of the most powerful forces in the world is usually invisible. Thankfully it occasionally blesses us with its presence with a cut across the sky or an arcing power line.

When I was very small, I would put my head under the bed covers and rub my polyester blanket sleeper against the blankets and watch the electricity fly. I was mesmerized by the mysteriousness of it all. Still am, actually.

So do you still wear polyester blanket sleepers?
