"Why ever did they put a flashlight on the fan remote?" Bond asked as I put in batteries after assembling the tower fan.

3 minutes later the TV sound wasn't working. I grabbed the remote to look at connections inconveniently located in back. "That's why." I replied.

And without missing a beat Bond offered to go get the radio if that wasn't bright enough.

Thank god he explained that our GPB donation gift emergency radio has a flashlight.

I didn't need it. Turned the TV off and then on. Voila! sound!
