I have an amusing anecdote about the ’78 show at Anaheim Stadium in California that I’ll have to share sometime…I was only ten years old, and I didn’t go the to show, but I got closer than I wanted to…

The first time I saw the Stones was in the Some Girls tour. Stevie Wonder was opening act (and Stevie and Mick did the encore together). Maybe the second best concert I ever saw. (Only because nothing compares with seeing George, Ringo, Bob, and Eric at the Bangladesh concert). What a show. They really are the World’s Greatest Rock’n'Roll Band.

No doubt – I once grabbed a live air conditioner fuse because a fuse box in my old apartment was mislabeled – when the repairman got there he said I was lucky I didn’t get hurt or killed…

However, having watched the plumber today, maybe – just maybe – I would be able to do the repair next time, since I know a little more now…

Incidentally, the repair was, surprisingly, fairly priced, so I got a nice surprise on the upside…

Oh, alright then, you sound like my dad. You should definitely stay away from electrical stuff then; if you screw up the plumbing things get wet, if you screw up electricity, people could die!

Steve, believe me, I watched the plumber today, and I couldn’t have done it. There were some broken parts involved already from my attempt to fix it. I have zero mechanical aptitude…

Mark: do yourself a favor and learn how to do a little simple plumbing. Fixing a faucet is not a big deal, even if that means replacing the darn thing. Of course if you are renting then nevermind, make the landlord pay, but if not, get yourself a few tools that will pay for themselves with the savings from your first diy repair.

On the PJ Media Joe the Plumber thing – you don’t want to know the details, they’ll just annoy the hell out of you…

Was that Pajamas Media? I saw the headline, but I didn’t read the details…

See, and here I thought this was going to be a post on the idiotic decision by Pajamas Media to send “Joe” the “Plumber” to Gaza as a war correspondent.
