Inanimate Objects

You know how some things look like they're alive and the more you look at them the more it freaks you out?

Or is that just me?

Automatic External Defibrillator

It's been 20 years since I lived in Appleton. When I first moved back I had a good time just walking around and seeing how things were different from Miami and different from what I had remembered - which was next to nothing.

I kept seeing these signs all over town. When I asked my friends what they were for no one seemed to know.

It seems self explanatory as it's clearly labeled a defibrillator. But why are they everywhere? Is there someone about Wisconsin that makes the population more prone to sudden heart attacks?

Why are these so often located right next to a bar? Is there a connection?

Although in an emergency it is nice to know a defibrillator is handy, do I really want to general public operating one?

So many unanswered questions.
