and I almost forgot... my van has had continuous problems (which almost messed up the Getaway) and my front porch/sidewalk is sinking (more water problems) and we have lost or are losing several nice trees in the yard.
wait....I have it!!.....a little known and barely understood physical phenomenon is at the root of all this! You all know about El Niño, which causes temporary weather problems in certain areas? Well, the same thing occurs with **Entropy**. Yes, my friends, I am unfortunatly living in an eddy where there is excess of Entropy! Perhaps it puddles at the bottom of the hills we live between and drainage is bad.
In any case, I am solicting names for the situation (Like El Niño for weather) so that I may submit a request for study and be delared an "Entropic Disaster Area" and receive federal grants for rebuilding!
I know that Mudcat's great communal mind can help me with this.
