relationship, literature
there's this passage in the 3rd section of gulliver's travels, where there's a whole society of scatter-brained scholars living in a city of clouds
and they have a whole caste of assistants whose only function is to follow them around with little air-filled bladders on a stick and bop them on the head when they're about to walk off the edge of a cloud and die
why am i mentioning this and what does this have to do with the adorable art-genius dragon lady i live with and love?
no reason at all but on a totally unrelated note maybe our water will be turned back on by tomorrow if we're lucky 🙄
(at least unlike the laputans, peg actually appreciates her attendant...)

@zebratron2084 Awwww. And, well, good luck.
re: relationship, literature
@Austin_Dern It's okay, most likely the worst we get is a day or two of shutoff. I can't imagine it's gonna be longer than Monday at the ABSOLUTE worst, in which case you're better believe I'm gonna make @anthracite find us a B&B or something. IT'S A DRAGON ADVENTURE! ^________________^
(They're at the water board right now and are like 15th in line, with about an hour before the same-day cutoff so we'll probably get off scot-free...)

@zebratron2084 @anthracite I ever share the time I was setting up my Singapore apartment, and went to the public utilities board? They had no trouble setting up my electric and water service, but when I said I also wanted gas for the stove they just said "no". I couldn't think of an answer to this and so left. Turns out in four years I never needed more than an electric toaster oven anyway. So I guess they knew their business?
