[BlueSkyJaunte]

Woke up from a nap to a smoke-filled room one day--my mother-in-law had left a potato in the microwave on high. I think she had intended to check it periodically and just forgot.

The next day she decided the best way to dispose of the (still hot) embers in the grill was to dump them on the wooden deck. Burned a hole straight through to the ground.

She might be trying to kill me?

As I write this I suddenly realize I shouldn't be surprised when my wife uses my expensive taps to drill holes in her earthenware planters. And she has a mechanical engineering degree!
