Fuse Box

Today while seeking inspiration for a small stone,  I noticed a fuse box.
There it was, a rectangular metal box, with big wires coming and going.
I had used a much smaller one at a rent house.
Flipping those switches restarted the electricity in parts of the house.

I have no clue how to make or repair such a device.
I know it must be very important.
Contractors do not put such things on buildings just for fun.

I know I will never see a splashy TV commercial about fuse boxes.
There will never be a late breaking news report about the latest model of fuse boxes.
Celebrities will never be paid to endorse a certain brand of fuse boxes.

Notice that cameras, smart phones and computers have dedicated bloggers.
But who offers lots of comments for the pubic about such a mundane thing.

Yet I feel sure that we could not enjoy the benefits of our modern life without fuse boxes.

I see you there silent servants.
