...and rained (so I tinkered with a vacuum cleaner)

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2012.08.10

It rained hard for two hours this morning; if we weren't caught up to the yearly average by yesterday, we are today.

We spent a part of the day trying to get our bought-in-Japan but sold universally* Electrolux vacuum cleaner fixed. No luck, so far. I've not had a lot of luck with the global Electrolux support operation to date; it cost a lot, I want it fixed. I'm beginning to think this might be a job for a screwdriver and some humming noises.

We ran errands again today, and happened upon a really good Vietnamese restaurant in Mississauga's "Golden Mile" area (of all places). It's called "Pho Saigon" but don't tell your friends, I don't want it getting too popular.

*To be had on a continent near you!

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.
