Remember the ads on TV when an opera star would sing a high note and cocktail glasses and mirrors would shatter. I always doubted a person could hit a frequency that would set up a vibration to shatter glass. Boy, was I wrong!
I was sitting on our patio last night when Aloma came out. She was trying out an allergy medicine she planned to take before singing in a concert on Friday. She sang a few notes then belted a high note that rocked the neighborhood.
She went back inside and hit the high note again. Suddenly the light bulb on the ceiling of the deck exploded and glass came down right beside me. I didn’t know whether I’d been shot or bombed. Glass was everywhere. The socket was still in the light fixture. Just the glass came down.
I got up and asked Aloma to come out and showed her the glass and explained what happened. She dismissed it. Just a coincidence. I told her never in 77 years had I seen a glass light bulb explode, especially when the light wasn’t even on.
I wouldn’t believe this if I hadn’t been part of it.
Now I’m worried about the concert on Friday. I’m going to wear plastic safety glasses.
