I know - we saw the blue sparks too!

I'll confess... I *used* my husband's gentlemanly nature against him - he naturally opens and holds doors open for me and in Vegas that meant he got the shock and I got to walk through the doors un-shocked. Sure I felt bad but dammit - at least it wasn't me!

It's pretty dry here in our desert but Vegas was above and beyond - I think all the machines have something to do with it too... I was scared to touch ANYTHING all week long!

I think we got it particuarly bad because I was pushing hubby in his chair on that carpet and it was like inviting all the static to buld up on us and just wait to spark.

Marc started lecturing one of the guys about the building not being properly earthed or something. I managed to go find something really interesting in the wallpaper to look at whilst that conversation was taking place.
