a holy man on your toilet

Omg. Large decorative toilet seat stickers?!
"Religious Figure on Grunge Backdrop Idol Meditation Boho Holy Print ...for Young Mens"

At first I thought the design was one of those Greek iconographic images of Jesus.

Well, ok. If someone was particularly bored with a plain-looking or ugly toilet, I could see them using some of the other available patterns/prints. But this one? Actually, I think this is the best of the bunch, especially in amusement value.

It was listed in the Amazon search results for "Dance to a Holy Man", an album by The Silencers, which unfortunately isn't available there in MP3 format. I was looking for their original release of Bulletproof Heart. But it's ok, as a live version is available, from their A Night of Electric Silence album.

SCORPION Safety Harness w/attached 6ft. Tubular Lanyard on back ... Is it just me, or do those product images have a distinctly BDSM appeal? Look at the bulge on that mannequin! The product reviews suggest no such thing.

hurricane damage

I slept through it, but my house suffered minor damage when ex-Hurricane Michael passed through. A tree limb fell in the back yard. It fell on top of the aerial cable which provides my internet service. That cable was connected to a hook in the soffit. From there, the cable runs down the side of the house. The hook didn't fail, but as it was only screwed into the fascia board and not all the way into a roof beam, the fascia board and part of the soffit siding was pulled down from the weight of the limb.

In spite of that, the cable itself remained intact and my internet still works.

I wonder if it is better to have the supporting hook screwed through the fascia into a roof beam. If it had been that way, what would have happened? Would the hook still have pulled out, possibly still taking the fascia board with it? Would the roof beam have been pulled loose too? Would the cable have snapped? Or would the hook and cable have been able to withstand the impact and weight of the fallen tree limb?

Now I need to get the fascia board replaced, as without it, there is an open gap under the shingles into the attic. That's my main concern. I don't want another rat incident. Although there have been signs that rats or some other creature had already gotten into both the attic and crawlspace again before this.

If only I weren't afraid of heights, I could probably fix it myself. It's only 15 feet up in the air, but still. The ladder gets wobbly at that height. And I'd need a ladder standoff.

Charmed, charmed

I watched the first episode of the Charmed reboot on CW tonight. It had some quite amusing one-liners in it. It feels a lot like the original series did, from what I remember.
