Last Sunday L’s sewing machine burned up, at the age of 29. (Yes, burned up, as in “all the magic smoke came out of it.” Since she couldn’t very well do without, what with Christmas sewing to be done and all, she and her credit card made a trip to JoAnn’s, and by the time she was done she had a new Viking Opal 650 sewing machine and a Huskylock s21 serger, which she had planned on buying one of with Christmas money anyway, ’cos her old serger (a Huskylock 435) dates to 1987 and is just about first-generation technology, as home sergers go. Fortunately, JoAnn was running holiday sales on most of their Viking machines, so she managed to get both for about $1,800 instead of $2,300 or whatever it would have cost after Christmas.
Superman intimidates the drunken couch and the slime-dripping geographer. Fnord.
