It has to be something from the breaker because other lights on that breaker worked until I turned it off, now none on that circuit work. Common sense would tell me that it is not a switch issue anymore, plus the breaker just doesn't feel like it is all the way on. I bought another breaker anyways. Lowes didn't have a GE 1 Pole 20 Amp breaker so I got what looks to be the same except it is an ABB 1 Pole 20 Amp. I'll make sure they are compatible before I trust it.

The shame of all this is that my father was an electrician and I never paid attention to any of it when I was growing up. If I had paid attention when he or my uncle needed my help I would know electricity, auto repair, welding, etc. I did learn how to cut cows, clean deer, and have a hog killing from start to finish on the coldest days of Winter though. If we ever go back to days of living off the grid at least I will fare better than most.

Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
