Not supernatural, just odd [View all]

I use wireless speakers often, transporting them around to wherever I'm working, even outside when I work in the garden. I have two in particular that are my favorite. They are canister-type speakers.

Unfortunately, I left one outside and we had a light dusting of snow. After the speaker had snow on it, even if it was just a little, I could not get it to pair with my computer. I still had an identical speaker left, though, so it wasn't so bad. Nevertheless, I thought if I let the one I'd left outside dry out it might work again someday.

I put it in my tech cabinet, which is in the dining room. I wasn't aware that I'd left it in the "on" position.

The next day I was walking through the room and I heard a conversation coming from my closed cabinet. Momentary alarm, but then I recalled I'd put the speaker there. It had obviously dried out and decided it might work a little. As I approached the cabinet, a snippet of what was airing was, "I think we've had this conversation before."

Then my speaker died, never to be paired again. I've tried numerous times, but no luck.

One last gasp, and that's what it had to say to me.

Bye, bye, dear speaker. You served me well.
