It's ba-ack!

The water.

We've got water flowing from our taps again, for the first time since shortly after returning from Houston in January.

Halloo! Hallay! O frabjous day!

I guess it took, what? five straight days of snow to unfreeze the line?

One of my first supervisors was right: hydraulics ain't a science... it's an art!

Cheers...

Spellchecker bust?

O Person to whom accuracy means so much ~ as a general rule ~ Iffen you are quoting from "Jabberwocky" in Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", me thinks it goes:

"...Calloo! Callay! O frabjous day!
he chortled in his joy..."

Pardon the editorial intrusion, and Huzzah for the returned water flow!

What's a spellchecker? Some kind of new game?

As it turns out, I diddle e'en realize I was quoting - or misquoting - the "J" poem, though I verily did - in a delerium brought on by the free flow of water, no doubt - misspell 'frabjous'.

Thank you kindly, miss.

Cheers...

P.S. I'd type it out a hundred times as penance - or am I getting that confused with the partial name of an opera by Gilbert and Suleiman? - but I know myself: I'd be tempted to type it once, then cut and paste in typematic mode.

No penance required, kind sir, because of that courtly 'miss'. (No one has called me that in years!)

You're an honest roguish man, as well, wiv all the mod cons laid on at last.

How fare your parental units?
