Water & Water
°
It was raining early this morning.
It rained all afternoon.
It is still raining tonight.
Yes, this has caused some minor flooding in the streets and low-lying areas, but it has also cooled things down beautifully. The constant cloud cover may have already saved me a small fortune in air-conditioning. And that is a good thing, because it might make up for my recent plumbing debacle.
You see, a couple of weeks ago my house was flooded (again) when the water heater went kablooey. skyforest and her gallant hubby KF came quickly to my rescue and installed a new water heater which is working superbly. Unfortunately, immediately after this, the packing on the kitchen sink stops came loose and I had another flood issue. This time our family plumber (my brother Dave's plumber, actually) came to help. But, alas, this was not the end of my troubles. The toilet began doing some creepy scary things that were vaguely reminiscent of the projectile vomiting scenes in THE EXORCIST. Another KF (different from the one married to skyforest) half fixed that problem, and the next day Dave's plumber fixed the rest. It seems a coat hanger (or something like it) had gotten way down into the sewer line. Weird, eh?
Anyhow, it looks like finally things are getting under control here.
And the lovely rain cooling everything down has made me a happy boy.
