Those darn spiders! If they aren't building webs which are invisible until you walk into them, or lying in ambush among the plants they are cutting off the water supply.
Yes! Cutting off the water supply. Our well has never given us any problems...until tonight. All of a sudden we had no water. We checked the breakers...none were tripped. We checked the fuses and even changed them out...still the well pumped no water. With visions of astronomical costs looming we called the trusty electrician. Fortunately, he came out promptly.
After some cursory inspections using all the appropriate tools, including his flashlight as it was well past twilight by then, he determined there was nothing wrong with the wiring. Everything was fine up to the electric box dedicated to the well.
Puzzled, he remembered a previous experience he had where a spider had built a home in the electrical box and created a short. Alas, that was the case here...the electric current could not jump across the fine web the spider had created in the box. The electrician cleared that web and BINGO the pump worked and the water flowed.
It is always something weird here, isn't it?
