[a flooding kitchen] I woke up this morning to the sound of a vacuum cleaner, as a maintenance guy was shop-vac'ing the water out of my apartment. Apparently a pipe had burst under the kitchen sink. It was spraying out, flooding the kitchen, and then it flooded into the next apartment, which was unoccupied. Then that flooded into the next apartment, which was occupied (by people and now water). The thing is, burglars don't actually do housework, like vacuuming and cleaning, so I wasn't particularly disturbed. And besides, if they do, then I probably shouldn't stop them. Since I am on the high ground, well, residentially, if not morally, I missed the worst of it. So my birthday present today is new carpet, new sink pipe, and new kitchen tile. Perhaps there's a better way to get such things.
I'm still figuring out the new scanner. The picture looks better without the background. Just click on it. images/Drawings/Sketches/kitchen-sink.png
