Travelling

Inspired by the tale of the electric toothbrush charmingly shared by intrepid blogger Letters I Wished I'd Written Cow feels strangely compelled to share her own experience with a wayward suitcase full of electronic devices...which chose the Hotel Lobby as prime real estate for self-activation.

Cow's implement of tortured embarrassment was an electronic "white-noise" generator, which also had settings to sound like a tropical rain forest and crashing waves. To ensure sound sleep in the hotel room, you understand, one sets it on the bedside table and it drowns out, well, hopefully, everybody else.

Oh my. Cow remembers this as if it were yesterday, the sudden appearance of little gurgling tweeting noises as the rain forest activated deep within her suitcase, during check-in.

Cow now always takes the batteries out before packing, and places them where the devices can't reach them.

Moo!
