Making it Too Easy

Now granted, the next door neighbor is on drugs, but this is just making it a little too easy. Why not brew the squirrel some coffee and get bagels and cream cheese while you’re at it?

Fired By the Empress
In an act of such stunning ingratitude that I’m still steaming about it, the Empress informed me that the Wookie and I just simply don’t work fast enough and she’s going to have to hire professionals to repair the sprinkler leak.

It’s Saturday!

Well, it’s Saturday at Casa Eclectic and the Wookie made a second — massive — pass at locating the leak. And he was successful. From what we can tell at this point it’s under a buried segment of old retaining wall. [...]
