Thanks to all who wrote to commiserate with us during our septic tank crisis last month. The episode has caused us to redefine a familiar word.

Flush. v.t., to send undesirable water to a septic tank.

Flush. adj., What you're no longer after paying for a new septic tank.

We're in much better shape this month. The grass is growing in again and all systems are operating as they should.
