This was really weird. I have Alexa, a devise that plays music and wakes me when I need to be. She lives by my charging station. Last night I put my iPad nearby so I would charge it in the morning.
I wake up, not having asked Alexa for her alarm, to what sounded like Islamic chanting or prayers. I called out for Alexa to stop. But Alexa wasn’t responsible. The sound was emanating from the iPad. For a split second I had the thought that Trump had sold the country to Hamas. I put nothing past Trump. But I was half asleep and I don’t speak Farci. Or any other Middle Eastern languages. So, I didn’t know what was being said. It also occurred to me that having to listen to such an insistent diatribe amounts to torture.
My god, toss in Allah too, the beauty of silence. I have no idea how that happened. The revenge of the charging station? I wrestled the iPad into silence. It was a wake up call in more ways than one. Blessed freedom.
