There was a little of both at Chez River recently… but not the kind you might think.

The blowing was in the form of a new window air conditioner we bought to replace our previous old as dirt unit. $500 and a broken back later it was installed and ready for summer. Someday someone will explain to me why these things have to weigh as much as an African elephant.

While this new a/c is more powerful and quieter than the last, I admit I was not happy with the left handed cord placement. I’m an inveterate cord hider and this monster is one inch too short to plug behind the antique radio to the left and two inches too short to swing around the corner behind the arm chair on the right … so this is the horror I must live with for the next few months.

Sigh.

Even Lord Dudley disapproves.

As for the sucking…

Yesterday morning heralded the arrival of the poop truck.

And it’s extremely long, highly suspect caca hose.

The less said about this process the better.
