Entropy in Action in Modern America
My house is obviously in a heavy entropy zone.
My dishwasher stopped working last week. My new camera was working, but now is not. I went downstairs to do laundry a little while ago and the main drain is draining very, very, very, very slowly. The warm weather this week revealed that one of the brakes on my car is making squeaking sounds. I just finished backing up my computer because at the present rate, you never know.
I am not as upset about this as I could be, because last night, as I was considering freaking out over the camera, I decided that I am no longer getting upset over material things. Everything in the list above can be fixed or replaced or done without.
And jeez, it's not like I was saving money to buy a new house or anything...
P. S.: Please do not offer me helpful suggestions about my camera or my dishwasher or my pipes. I already know what I need to do and helpful suggestions that don't actually help are, well...annoying.
If you go ahead and make helpful suggestions anyway, I will have Chance stab you with a fork.

Kick things! Beat them till they work! Make them submit!

And maybe wrong Chance? That one doesn't look like the other Chance I know.... (And I assume we're talking about the same Chance. I'm occasionally wrong!)

Fixed.
That's what I get for typing without thinking (which usually works out well for me). Thanks!
And I'm still going to have Chance stab you with a fork :-)
