After my older brother was whisked off to the whimsical world of college, my parents have had a lot of free times on their hands (no more football games to attend, no more high school graduation to worry about for another year). So, with all that free time, they went out and bought a humongous amount of plants. Now that they spend so much time in the garden, my parents were in need to install a few lights here and there for seeing at nighttime. My dad, being a handy man and liking hands-on experiments, installed the lights by himself. He used parallel circuits, using
Step by Step Guide Book on Home Wiring. That book has such great diagrams on how to do home wiring. So, using these diagrams, my dad used parallel circuits to make a few lights hang by the plants that he needs to take care of. It's a good thing, too, because if he used series circuit wiring, if one light went off, then all the lights would go off, and then it would be hard to find out which bulb was the one that is not working anymore. Parallel circuits really are great, but they use up more energy, unfortunately. Well, that's it. Signing off, in 5, 4, 3, 2 . . .
