Bad Day

Woke up today to find our only refrigerator dead as a doornail… I’m sure the compressor is blown, but hey, the lightbulb still works!  That makes a fridge, air conditioner, and two pool motors which have died in the last four months, in addition to the two dishwashers and water heater we’ve already replaced in the 7 years we’ve lived in this newly-constructed house.  The landfills aren’t full of plastic—they’re full of our dead appliances.  Shouldn’t a $1200 refrigerator last more than 7 years without benefit of an “extended warranty”?  Did I mention that the washing machine leaks?  Hell, I’m probably still paying for all these things on my Sears card.

I can’t think of anything good to come of any of this, except that it puts one of my favourite R.E.M. songs in my head…
