[ausev] Open garage, more weird stuff going on

[R. D. Childers]

Now if there were some lights you could see as well. ;)  Well Chris I 
thought about your comment that I might be a bit obsessive. Any good public 
relations person would put a bit of spin on that and refer to it as focused 
and driven.

Besides I am only using the light of the monitor at the moment and all is 
well. (at 3:17am., atomic clock synched)
