The potential depth and implications of this post are scary. THen again, maybe you just broke something tangible and material?

I once ordered a new sidemarker light for my car, and the thing that came was so cheap that the plastic thing (see how knowledgeable I am about cars) that was supposed to hold the bulb wouldn't. I ended up having to use components off of the old sidemarker and the new one. And I may have used some clear duct tape too.

I think you must have something specific that you are referencing.
I like fixing things! :) Except for broken hearts.... those are a little tricky ...
Technically it was referring to the shower fixture in my bathroom, but it has so many broader applications I thought it was better to leave it vague. And shower fixtures are so unphilosophical.
This is insanely profound...
Hey so are you moving to Utah soon?
Keep me posted!
