Amos, that was EDIFICE, not orifice.

JennieG, that IS a good question:
does this, Rapparee's realm, have its own Blacksmith / ankle-shackle-breaker?

So sorry, truly, to hear about your home being flooded.
Hope you can keep your spirits up
while the problems are being dealt with.
At least, this is a season of warmth where you are located.

(a flooded home up HERE at this time?
with subfreezing temps at night? Horrors ... )
