As Fate would have it.

Remember my Rowenta rave? That very night, while pressing my latest completed project with my new beloved iron...thwat pop!..It blew a fuse! What is it with Germans and power? After waiting in the darker dark for a few hours, the building manager finally returned home. Fuse-less. (My heavy-duty wonder had MELTED the fuse, a complete replacement required). I was desperate. Come on, we've got 15 minutes til it closes, I'll drive you to the hardware store myself! So, despite the prime real estate parking space, I moved the car to get light (and Imac, and TV and CoffeePot and GermanIron and oh man, how did we get by without electricity?). With great relief, in half an hour, though my primo parking spot was gone, I had all my equipment buzzing and humming with life again. The next morning, when I drove away from my in-the-boonies parking spot, I went round the block where I had been parked the evening before....to see that a Huge Tree Downed by Wind Storm Destroyed Two Vehicles. ! That iron saved my little car. One German looking out for another.
