We don't have pigeons around us, so I will just have to give the raccoons an
extra treat tonight. Oddly, they are not bothered by the sound of my coil.
One time I fired it up, and immediately after powering down I heard rapping
on my window. It was 'Nikky' (What I named the smartest and most tame one)
begging for his honey grahm wafer!

While I'm in the posting mood, check this out:

What a way to celebrate the accomplishments of Nikola Tesla! To be flying
through an electrical storm...
Uh, on second thought maybe not! But if you are going to fly through an
electrical storm, it's a good idea to be in a plane since the metal shell
acts as a faraday shield and keeps everything inside safe! :-)

Let's all open a bottle of Corona. Here's to you Nikola Tesla!
