Plasma TVs

My plasma TV has been squealing since I arrived. Was sure that this was an easy insurance claim. 

10:30 am: Technician arrives. My head: spinning from the usual hangover and close encounters with regret. Technician: Listens to TV. Responds, It's the altitude. You need to buy a new TV.

It's just a bit bizarre so am sharing the moment of being dumbfounded. My Panasonic can't survive the altitude. Found an article in the New York Times related to the subject.

By the way, the movie Friday the 13th is called Tuesday the 13th here. 

Horrible, hang-over. Happy Valentine's Day to all you lovers ; )

Hilarious! The altitude issue and the whole Tuesday the 13th. I don't get that.
Did you hear about the volcano eruption in Columbia?
