A wall socket gave out. So, I removed the face plate, took a deep breath, and tapped the metal side with a bare finger.
Zap, yes, lose connection. The issue confirmed, I turned off the breaker and fixed the wires.
Of course, don't do this at home, 😉.
Karmageddon's bound
If you can judge a book by its cover, then you're either Jesus or an asshole.
One of the best lines ever written.
****I look like Abel, but I'm raising Cain****
War and money burning all the time
What's going down is coming round

"The Prisoner's Song" (1924) - Vernon Dalhart
Awfully cute! Ours are just starting to get over the worst of their skittishness. When I was shovelling snow yesterday, one of them came running down the street and sat about 20ft away from me while trying to decide if he could make it to the bowl without getting closer to me.
I wonder if Edmonton jacks are related to Regina jacks, and if so, whether ours are considered the hillbilly redneck cousins no one talks about.
After the “Moral Panic” LP and a long Merle Haggard phase, I was fortunately able to overcome that.
However, I've started smoking marijuana again... Everything has its price.

Merle Haggard performed "Okie From Muskogee" live on The Wagon House.
One wonders why all the Yankees and their bootlickers react so thin-skinned.
I think they just don’t like it when you don’t play along. That’s when they become irrational.

While there are well known disadvantages of growing up in a tiny rural community with its ever so romantic one room school house, there are lots of great skills, for lessons:
You can not procrastinate.
You never get all the weeds.
Control is an illusion, you do your best and that's it.
Being knee deep in bullshit every now and then is fine.
