One Amazing Thing I've Done
Once was standing at the summit of a moderately high cliff I'd climbed (not technically or anything just up the side clomp clomp clomp) but standing there triumphant either way, chewing up a sandwich in that way you chew up a sandwich when you get to the top of something tall, accomplished and proud and slow & almost brooding, when tremendous VEEEEEERRRRRRRRRCCCCCCCHHHSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHOOOOOSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! almost explodes my head from behind. I drop flat on my back holding on with all fours as tight as I've ever held onto anything (Prometheus-like upon rock) convinced that the sky is splitting open and me and my cliff and all these innocent people I was just watching mill around at the bottom are gonna be sucked viciously into outer space, and I watch a jet fighter tear past, maybe, I dunno, closer than I've ever seen a flying aircraft, within maybe 500 feet or a 1000? and just BOOKING. HURTLING, almost did probly tear open the sky...

did you know?: a roly poly is in fact not an insect, but a crustacean. how to fix a leaky faucet: Step 1: get the WATER OFF FIRST, even if you have to turn it off at the main...had a spectacular catastrophe as a result of failure to turn off water on first go-round. Step 2: if you've got the little vertically mounted crystal knobs, get under the caps (H & C thereupon) with a screwdriver & pry em off. 3: again w/ screwdriver, unscrew hardware thereby removing knob. 4: set knob aside. begin to tug & twist & pull gently on plug (coppercolored and indeterminate in size until it starts to emerge and then you can tell) until plug comes loose. 5: watch for extreme, torrential leakage from the hole left by the plug. If no leakage occurs, simply remove the rubber o-ring inside, which is probably the consistency of chalk, and replace it with a new, rubbery one. If leakage occurs, stick your thumb in and wait until you get thirsty.
