Well, thankfully now we’re up to sort of lukewarm showers! We got the new water heater installed, but the thermostat is set kind of low so it’s not really getting the water hot. I was supposed to go back into the crawlspace and reset it this weekend. I really gotta start watching less football….

Yeah, since Bonnie has refused to let me die like a good Roman, I guess I’ll be back to normal soon. Whatever that means.

Y’know, it’s funny about cold showers. If you know ahead of time that’s what you’re getting into, like say, when you’re staying at a bunkhouse in Jamaica, then you can tolerate a cold shower well enough if you just plan a little bit. It’s TOTALLY different when you’re in your own house, getting ready for work in the wee hours of the AM, and get into the shower expecting it to be comfortably warm, only to find that the damned water heater has kicked off in the middle of the night…. again.

Oh well, hopefully it’s over now.

Fragileheart, the furnace AND the water heater at Mike’s house went over to the dark side so he has been occupied trying to sort those out. (And taking cold showers, bleargh!)

Since I declined to hold a sword for him to impale himself on like he asked, hopefully he’ll be back with us full force soon.

Jeremy, fairly recently they legalized absinthe for sale at liquor stores here in the US. I saw some last night, but it’s quite expensive. (And I don’t like anise anyway.)

We came home with Bacardi and good old Bailey’s Irish Creme instead.

There’s a few ways to spell it, but I think that’s the original Irish Gaelic spelling. You’ll maybe see it spelt ‘patcheen’ or ‘potcheen’ to agree more with typical English pronunciation. Another mind-altering substance you can still get over the counter in the Czech Rep (also known in France at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries for it’s influence on artists of the time)is absinthe-a greenish aniseed tasting drink containing hallucinogenic wormwood. But it doesn’t sound so good as the name for a Celtic band Cheers (or ‘na zdravi’ as they say over here) Jeremy.
