It could not have been said more succinctly, Frank. And for everyone
else who lives in fear of their van blowing up because they left the
fridge on---let's review---you just rolled your van off a cliff and
now you are upside down at the bottom of the cliff in a completely
destroyed Vanagon---if the van isn't already on fire and you're not
already dead---don't you have other things to worry about? Good
lord---how does anybody that thinks about stuff like that ever leave
their house?
