\"\"<\/a>Last night I had some bad dreams.\u00a0 First I dreamed I was eating a giant marshmallow.\u00a0 Then I woke up and I couldn’t find my pillow.<\/p>\n

I looked at the clock and it said quarter to three, so I went back to sleep.\u00a0 I had another nightmare.\u00a0 I dreamed I ordered a super high capacity AAA cell from a dodgy seller on eBay.\u00a0 When it arrived, it was this huge cylindrical shipping package.\u00a0 I unwrapped it and found this huge AA cell, more than a half meter long, maybe 24 inches (see the pic).<\/p>\n

During the Xmas holidays I ordered five gift sets of two flashlights consisting of a Fenix LD01 and a Fenix E01, each for $32.00.\u00a0 I received a package a few days after Xmas and opened it up.\u00a0 I found five packages each consisting of a single LD01, but no E01s at all.\u00a0 Then I looked at the packages and three of them were missing the flashlight.\u00a0 I found that one of the packages had the plastic display thingy turned around so that the flashlight was not showing.\u00a0 But the other two were really missing the flashlights.\u00a0 I got on Amazon and went through all the hoops to start the claim process.\u00a0 My credit card had been billed by the seller for almost $165.00<\/p>\n

First I had to wait for three days after the latest estimated shipping date they gave, which was Jan 5.\u00a0 So on Jan 8, I first had to contact the seller, which I did.\u00a0 I received a reply a day later.\u00a0 The seller replied with an excuse that it wasn’t his fault, someone changed the advert.\u00a0 But he didn’t answer the questions about why the flashlights were missing.\u00a0 I replied back asking why he had not answered my original questions.\u00a0 I waited for two days, and when I did not receive an answer, I went on Amazon and started the claim process.\u00a0 I will tell you that this was very user unfriendly.\u00a0 It looked to me as if they were trying to make it difficult for the user to get to the point where they could begin filling out the forms.\u00a0 Not only that but they make you read all these conditions and other stuff which seems unrelated to the issue.<\/p>\n

Finally I submitted the claim.\u00a0 A day Later I got a call from the seller, and we discussed the situation.\u00a0 We came to an agreement that he would send me an additional four LD01s to make up for the losses.\u00a0 I should get those next week, then I promised to withdraw the claim.<\/p>\n

Can you guess which of the paragraphs above are fictional?\u00a0 I’ll give you a hint…\u00a0 The first and second ones were supposed to be funny.\u00a0 The paragraphs following those were true, unfortunately.\u00a0 Thanks go out to the art students at Santiago Canyon College for their larger than life still life artworks.<\/p>\n

I just had a brainstorm.\u00a0 If I had this high capacity battery, I could put several Maxwell 2600 Farad ultracaps inside, and it would be a real high capacity rechargeable electric energy store.<\/p>\n
