On a recent warm evening, my wife and I were sitting at a table on the patio of Brixx, our favorite pizza parlor in Greenville. My wife excused herself for a moment, and I took a look around to see what was going on over toward Panera Bread. When I looked to my left, I found this extension cord looking back at me. I introduced myself and took its picture.
