G'Mornin'

     I'm off to the dentist at 0MG700 this morning, so a long-form blog post is Right Out until maybe later.  Oh, the price of fame and a childhood spent enjoying sugary snacks.

     One quick note, the aerator on the kitchen sink failed; I asked Tam to pick up a new one at Winthrop Supply (motto: "Yeah, we've got that.").  $1.67 and it's hugely better than the old one ever was!  Best plumbing supply place in town and not too far to bicycle to. Made of Win.  Also, they have a Store Cat.

    Okay so far -- trying to eat breakfast without biting my lip.

    We used to prank a guy we worked with who was having a lot of dental work done. He'd come in with his mouth still numb, and we'd constantly remind him that he was drooling, even when he wasn't.

    I could never figure out why my lip always hurt after dental surgery, till I finally realized that I'd been biting my lip while it was numb...

    Doesn't hurt to remove and backflush those aerators every once in a while

    Y'know, I am just about Temperance these days -- 'druther be so of my own volition than let the frikkin' prohibitionists force it on me. There's a move afoot to cut the DUI limit in Indiana in half again, achieving by degrees what the WCTU was unable to maintain by legislative force.

    JC: I had been, I had been -- along with occasionally disassemble, removal of hard-water "rocks" and reassembly. But this time, the aerator literally blew out, spat the innards almost clean outta the shell, and when cleaned and reassembled, did it again. For a buck and three bits? I'll just replace. Life is too short for self-destructing faucets.

    Wheelgun -- they are not watering Maker's. There was such an outcry when they made that announcement that they had to walk it back. It's still 90 proof.
