And, we're back!

So, the Venter took a bit of a vacation...hoping to inspire ire and perhaps some guest vents, I didn't make any advance announcements. Alas, all I got were a couple of measly garden-variety complaints. Ah well.

But now, I am back, and the venting resumes. 

How come nobody ever seems to put their dishes directly in the dishwasher? What could possibly be the appeal of stacking up dirty dishes in the sink, only to then have to un-stack and place them in the machine afterwards? This is so universal and so mind-boggling. 

More to come, now that vacation's over. Worthy of a next vent: unpacking.
