I expect them to be high, but not that high.

Now that I got my car fixed, I guess I can turn my attention to our front storm door.  We had it propped open with that little piece of metal on the slider when the pizza guy from Ginelli's showed up.  It wasn't a very windy day, but there must have been a ferocious wind rushing through this guy's head because he figured that the wind was holding the storm door open, so while waiting for the check, he forced it shut for us.  Now that little piece of metal won't hold the door open any more.

Even Car Talk is about Sewage these days

On car talk this morning, they read a letter from a guy who tried to drive through a flooded street.  He stalled and his car got flooded with some raw sewage.  As they were consoling the guy on the air, I was thinking that no one questions why, when it floods, we get to take a big bath in our own feces.  It has to be some combination of the following:

  1. It has been happening since the beginning of time and people just accept it, as I should, and learn to appreciate the non-fecal days better. 
  2. It has been happening more recently because municipal stormwater systems have reached their capacity, but people view them as isolated incidents because they don't know any better.
  3. People don't like to talk about the larger picture because it might make their taxes go up.
  4. It has always been happening but people are more sensitive to it now because they know a little more about feces than they used to.
