Note
Wondering if anyone has any experience with this --
I just gave my Mac a shower. Not on purpose of course, just a glass of 80% water and 20% OJ, almost full, that dumped itself, I swear I hardly touched it, right in the direction of my Mac, mostly right across the keyboard.
Figuring plain water was better than sugared water, I rinsed it off under the faucet. Turning it on its side to let the water run out, I noticed water coming out of the not just the keyboard but also the various holes on the left side to plug things in.
About this time the screen went dark.
Several minutes later, after more clean-up and doing my best to extract any remaining water (gentle but firm shaking), I tried to get it going, no luck.
About 15 minutes later, the screen flashed a couple of times. A couple minutes later, same thing. A couple minutes later it came back on. And seems to be working.
Questions -- Have I done any damage? Should I take it in to the local Apple store to have them check it out. Or do I just carry on? The fan has just come on. Is it trying to dry itself out? Now the fan is off. Is it happy?
This -- my ability to wreck things -- is why I've never been a fan of fancy toys.
Anyone have a clue?

11 AM
trail running 1:06:11 [3] 5.91 mi (11:12 / mi)
ahr:143 max:158 rhr:51 weight:142.5lbs shoes: mudclaw 270
Colder and windier, back to the same trails as yesterday. Pretty much the same conditions, except not so many low-hanging snow-packed branches waiting to bop me in the face. Traction so-so, not icy, just there is enough snow so that the shoes often don't really grab, like running in soft sand.
Three laps this time: middle/lower then upper/middle then lower/upper. The only part exposed to the wind was about 5 minutes of each of the times on the upper trail and then it got cold real quickly (18F, wind 20-30 mph). It would have taken a bit more gumption to spend the whole hour out in the open. The rest of the time it was quite pleasant.
This American Life, Going Big, the first segment was very interesting.
Just in case you haven't noticed, winter is almost over. I always figure that by mid-February things are getting pretty balmy, and that is only six weeks away. And the sun is already setting a lot later, 12 minutes later than in early December. And I don't think winters are as cold as they used to be -- I remember a day when I first moved up here when the high was -7F (and the low about -25F). Days like today are really quite toasty.
