Draining resources

Just when I thought I was going to clear the inbox at work, I had to come home to let the plumber into the back yard. No, not the drains again. The water heater. And this was a different plumber. I'm now $93 poorer but I do have hot water. (That's after I was charged $176 for the sewerage problem that affected all four households. I paid the plumber and now have to recover the costs from the other three. One has paid up. I'll see what happens with the other two.)

I can't wait to see what goes wrong next.

No, that's not true. I can wait. I can wait for a long time.
