I wouldn't call NE US "arid" but yes, it's not unusual when the temp and 
humidity drop to get lots of static discharges. I didn't notice anything 
this particular time, and I wasn't walking around before the event.

Yep still there.

That's the strange thing to me: everything looks normal. I guess it's 
possible to zap the line drivers and not have the controller detect it, 
but that seems surprising to me.

... Ok, in putting this message together, I see now that there are some 
signs I had missed before. Before the crash, a USB game controller 
attached to the system was detected, but not afterward. And after the 
crash, I get new messages like this:

 > kernel: uhci_hcd 0000:00:11.2: HCRESET not completed yet!

So everything looks like I fried the USB ports, and perhaps the 
controller itself.

I'm attaching the relevant messages as an HTML file, if you want to have 
a look.
