It's That Hypnotic Voice

Ron from Sierra Pacific called. His job is to schedule customers for air conditioning and heater maintenance. Summer is coming, you know, and it will be hot!

Nevertheless, there is something mesmerizing about Ron's New York/East Coast accent, his soothing low tones, and the abrupt, almost conspiratorial way he initiates telephone conversations. I find myself transfixed.

If Ron wanted me to buy six air conditioners, I would do it. If he wanted me to drive to Hoover Dam, I would do that too. Or buy gold. Or write letters to the editor.

Whatever Ron wants, Ron gets.
