Unwanted excitement here this afternoon
This afternoon around 5, I went and told J I was going to have a nap, told him to wake me up in an hour or so, and left him playing WoW. The next thing I knew, the smoke alarm was shrieking, and there was smoke in the living room. I jumped up and ran around like crazy trying to see what was on fire. It smelled like burning plastic. Luckily, J had the presence of mind to flip the main breaker. We figured out it was coming from the AC vents. J called his dad, and he and my MIL came and J and his dad turned breakers on one at a time, and since nothing caught fire, they decided it is, indeed, the AC - - either a short circuit or these #%$@&* squirrels have eaten through a wire. It was too dark tonight to do anything about it, so my FIL is coming back tomorrow to see what he can do to fix it. I just stopped shaking.
