I usually keep my computer on all night because it’s the best time
for downloading and uploading torrents. Since the café across the street from
which I get my signal is closed at night then there’s no competition. I turn my
computer off at 6:00 to rest it for a while and then back on a little after
8:00. On Saturday though, when I started my system I got a message asking me if
I wanted to run system repair or to start normally. Since “system repair” was
recommended, I chose that option, but it went nowhere. I tried restarting and
choosing “start normally” but that didn’t work either. I was starting to worry
that my system had crashed and that I’d need to get another computer so soon
after the last, but then I wondered if this had something to do with the new
hardware I’d bought. I noticed that the external hard drive was still powered
on, so I shut it off and restarted my computer. It started normally.
That night while
watching an episode of the Donna Reed Show, I wondered when that strange
practice of TV married couples sleeping in separate beds came to an end. I
looked it up and found that they didn’t have a couple sleeping in the same bed
on a regular series until 1964 when Herman and Lily Munster on The Munsters
shared a bed and also Darrin and Samantha Stevens hit the same sack together that same year on Bewitched. Obviously then, it took supernatural forces to turn two beds into
one.
