The Big Chill
Only once so far this winter has there been enough snow to fire up the Troy-Bilt snow blower. It didn’t last long. This was the outdoor thermometer reading one week ago.
Today’s temperature.
By Wednesday it’ll be back up to 50. Who says this isn’t the age of crazy Climate Change?
From Coming of Age to Midlife Crisis
Tom Courtney as an angry working class lad in rural England. Burt Lancaster as a depressed upper class New York suburbanite. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and The Swimmer are 1960’s films that were adapted from short stories.

Shower Me the Money
All shower heads sold in Massachusetts must be low-flow, with a maximum of 2.0 gallons/minute. Yesterday I installed one of these in the hall bathroom. An Oxygenics Fury, $25 at Lowes.

Because there was a problem with the installation, I posted a review on the Lowe’s product page, along with that picture. It should appear in a few days.
I wonder how much this crazy shower head costs?
Oh, wait. My mistake. That’s a bank vault door.
Follow-up: Manufacturer’s comment to my review.
I’m sorry to hear that the installation wasn’t as smooth as it should be. We recommend hand tightening for most instances, but there are times when a wrench is needed. Glad it’s working for you now. Thank you for the feedback!
If that’s the case, the instructions should say a wrench may be needed for some installations.
