Murphy's law strikes again!

Last Christmas I ordered a gift for my Wife from a company in Dallas, Texas

It went through Irving, Texas, then Memphis, Tennessee, then directly to Richmond, BC
I thought, great, it will be here in a day or so, but then noticed it was posted as an International shipment release ???
Next thing you know, it's on it's way to Paris, France
After speaking with FedEx, it was sent from Paris back to Memphis, then finally made it's way here. All this in only 3 days
So now it's Dec 22
I unpack the gift, plug it in, and it goes Pffffttttt poof !!!

I contacted the vendor and after the laughter and appologies, they shipped another immediately, which made it by Dec 24 ... and it works
Whew, talk about cutting it close

Last night I go to my granddaughters skating like I always. Last night they were doing their program for the little ones. I was doing a video for her mom who was working. Did a couple little videos during practice and warm up.

Checked batteries. Look good, have spares but dont need them right. Did another check on skater before her. Ok, her turn. Music starts.....camera starts and just as she starts her program................batteries are dead and camera shuts down.................

By the time I get my iPhone out and on video, her program is half over.

Either murphys law or as I always say, one of my ancestors in Ireland caught a leprechaun doing something and family is cursed.
