Let them eat flowers

A reader wrote after seeing yesterday's shower stall posting:

'Remind me never to have you do any plumbing at my house!'

Alas and alack.

The upgrade from electrical tape (for garden-hose binding) to copper (wire) wouldn't be his Standard Operating Procedure? But he forgets that we live in a sewer raccoon district, where things are done differently.

Here's an example just from today: We eat flowers in our salads, too. That may be raccoonly, too!

A salad at lunch set before me by basement shower-preferring Denise contained what was available.

Lettuce, spinach, cheese, chives, apple, walnuts and grapes ............. + violets.

It's what's there, man!
