I hauled the box into my office.

It was obvious I had a 4-arm fixture and some non-related parts.

Emptying the box, I found 4 aluminum arms obviously meant to go with the round body and other components.

But 1 arm was broken. And this, I assumed, was why the box was put away 18 years ago.

But…mysterious music, inserted…I found two more matching arms in the box. These were bright aluminum and new. Did I years before have them cast to replace the broken arm? And, if so, why cast 2 and not 1?

But…mysterious music, inserted…I found yet two more arms. These were cast-iron but matched the obvious original arms. They also…gadzooks!…retained their original turn-key sockets and…double gadzooks!…their socket rings albeit painted white!

So, I had 2 socket rings.  I needed 4. Did I have two more in my vast storage vaults?

No. But I did have…triple gadzooks!!!!!…4, and with the original polychrome matching the round body.

This seemed beyond gadzooks and more akin to miracle territory.
