Absolutely beautiful, Mike -- a few lines (the last few of course) which I
won't get out of my head any time soon.
(btw -- re. refrigerlators.....it seems I did too thorough a job
cleaning/vacuuming w/ a shop vac w/ enough power to suck up anything that's
not nailed down and some things that are. I inadvertently knocked loose a
wire to the fan, underneath, where the coils are. My lovely, kind and
courteous ac/plumbing/whateverneedsfixing guy tried to explain to me about
heat intakes and what not but obviously it simply wasn't something I could
grasp at one go. When shop-vacking (shop-vaquing? "shop-vacing" would be
shop-vasing.....shop-vacking?), I was concerned that I might have knocked
something loose, but since I didn't know what it was *supposed* to look
like..... Anyway, now I know -- for the next time, of course. And my meat
ain't spoilin' and my milk is cold.)

appliances are good things to have
