I would never have figured you for a Luddite, Marc. 
Surge protectors work beautifully if they're properly rated. The problem is that most people buy the cheapest one available and expect miracles. I look for the highest joule rating I can afford, then use that to protect the UPS I keep all critical components plugged into. If the protector fails, the UPS batteries serve as a backup protection device, albeit an expensive one. Although we get vicious monsoon thunderstorms here, I have yet to lose any device to lightning or other surge.
I use my phone as a hotspot, too, and you're right - it works great! A lot better than Nish's did when I met him, at least. 
Will Rogers never met me.

There are a lot of feral cats around here. Regularly I go out to the large bins and as I throw in a bag one or more street moggies shoot out; quite a good trick really.
The down side is at the weekend we went swimming with some friends and while walking back through the town a cat attacked our friends' puppy. It was a nasty quick fire premeditated assault. I grabbed the dog and picked it up, he was very scared, while trying to get rid of the cat. Eventually I had to kick it away; not an action I take pride in. It was only afterwards that we saw the feline slink away to the nearby tree where her kittens where hiding. The puppy was no threat, but she obviously thought any dog was a danger.
Oh and I found a dead kitten beside the car when we went out yesterday morning. I try to explain to the girls that these are not pets but feral and have to be left to live wild.

Nika left a dead mouse in my bedroom not long ago.
After three days the stench was so horrible I decided to just clean out my entire room, that's when I found it... 
She also woke me up in the middle of the night because there was a butterfly.
She was sitting triumphantly next to it and then when I looked at it she stopped meowing and decided it was time to catch it.
As soon as she reached for the butterfly it flew up right in Nika's face.
Hilarity ensued 
Really, you've got to love cats. They're little live bundles of joy

If a buck took a job as a female deer's massage therapist, would it be because he kneaded the doe?

Meeeeeee
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Bucking the trend, I grazed out the window for some inspiration. I don't know white tale I expected to come up with but as forest I can see (and you can read), it was a failure.

Sometimes I feel like posting "I DONT KNOW" as an answer in the question answer forum.
It will get deleted by a moderator so I don't.
