For last few days I have been wearing sneakers where I used to be in sandals. The result is electirifying, literally!! I get out of the car, touch the door to close it.. and am *shocked*! After banging the keyboard for sometime or sitting on a chair in carpeted floor for sometime, walkout and touch something metallic -- and shocked again. I think winter also helps to build more static. Sometime it is so intense I can hear some sound coming from the finger tips. So now, I am all CHARGED UP! ;)
