  1. A quotation from Abigail Adams

    Of all pride, that which persons discover from Riches is the weakest. If we look over our acquaintance, how many do we find who were a few years ago in affluence, now reduced to real want.

    Abigail Adams (1744-1818) American correspondent, First Lady (1797-1801)
    Letter (1790-02-20) to Mary Smith Cranch

  31. Bad luck of the day. Needed to change the shower faucet ... the adapter broke right off and parts of it stuck in the pipe. (the broken off piece seemed to be of bad quality)

    Yeah one of those days.

    And of course nothing got this piece unstuck and I needed to call a plumber.
