Icy relationships [update, part II]

Water is still not working. As an added bonus, the landlords appear to have not gotten our rent check despite my jamming it in their mailbox six days ago. Nice to know they're observant enough to know that they haven't received a several hundred dollar check.

Icy relationships [update]

The cold water in the bathroom is now at a trickle, which is an improvement. However, the colour of what's coming out of the faucet is a sickly pale yellowish-brown. Probably not a good idea to drink that.

The water in the kitchen is now down to a trickle as well, which is worse than it was. Also, it is coming out the same colour as the bathroom.

We'll be in Ann Arbor for a bit; when we come back hopefully this will have been taken care of. If not, I'm calling a fucking plumber.

Minor obstacle...

Yesterday there was a small obstacle on the way to removing the stress in my life. I got home - after fighting through the traffic from the Gerald R. Ford funeral - and discovered that an errant nail had found a new home in one of my rear tires.

Not necessarily the best way to start on the road to self-improvement, but there's not much I can do about it. I pulled the tire off, and put a spare on. The nail has been removed, and apparently there's places that can patch the area for a nominal fee.

So, a minor setback, but nothing terribly expensive/time consuming.
