The Miracle of Kenmore

Recently out Kenmore over the counter microwave mysteriously died. It worked fine for nearly two years but one morning it just decided it could not heat up anymore leftovers. I feared the worst but in a last ditch effort, I contacted the Kenmore repairman. His efforts would not come cheap. He required $75 for merely showing up. Any repairs he could offer would be more. Well he delivered the worst of news. The heart of our dear Kenmore, it's magnetron, was broken. It could no longer deliver its powerful microwaves which warm our food, pop our popcorn and heat up our mugs of water. The repairman offered cold comfort claiming that he could replace the magnetron but at a cost nearly doubling that of a replacement microwave. Thus we had no choice but to accept our loss and begin preparations for new microwave shopping. Now is when a higher power intervened. My wife, armed with nothing but the force of habit, tried to heat up a mug of water to make her tea in our derelict microwave. She realized shortly the silly mistake that she had made. However, when she went to remove the mug the water it contained was warm. Praise be to the savior. What happened? I do not know the answer to this question. I am sure the hand of a higher power rekindled the power of our microwaves magnetron and blessed us again with its power to heat up whatever we desire. I guess the $75 was worth it...
