On second thought, let's not go to Camelot; it is a silly place

Auf wiedersehen, Deutschland; guten Tag, USA!

July 30th, 2006 by Mike

Back safely from Germany without incident; even our luggage made it with no hassles. I was shooting 100-300 photos a day, so expect steaming heaps of flickr before too long.

Of course, that will have to wait until I feel clean again. Our hot water heater apparently got very lonely while we were away and decided to commit leaky suicide all over our basement. Due to complications with shutoff valves that need replacing, we’ve had to turn off all water to the house in order to stop the leak… which means that the whole-body film of personal funk I’ve accumulated since starting in Köln yesterday morning is evolving into something really quite profound.

Until further notice, please use only poles of length ten feet or greater to interact with us. Thanks.

    Well, it did rain pretty hard last week. Perhaps an effect of that.

    you may already have this planned, but make sure to deal with that leaky moisture in the basement as quickly as possible… there’s lots of nasty molds that you don’t want to be around… :)

    And welcome home! Good luck getting your water fixed ASAP!

    There has been furious mopping and much running of the dehumidifier since our return, so I think we’ve got that under control for the most part… On the plus side, both of us were already in agreement that the basement decor has fallen into, shall we say, disapproval, and needed eventual replacement, so we aren’t too heartbroken about the cosmetic issues.

    At this point, I just really want a shower. :-)
