So, since my job has me stuck in traffic 80% of the work week, I have recently decided to listen to NPR...in order to feel like my time is productive and educational. Consequently, I have been learning many rare facts, such as this timely pearl of wisdom:
Did you know that last year in Los Angeles there were 37 power outages on Valentine's Day due to those Mylar heart-shaped balloons? There is a property in Mylar that reacts with the power lines that causes them to short out and cause area-wide power loss! So, now I don't feel so bad boycotting V-day, it's my philanthropic act for the community!
