GNAR

That is all.  Just GNAR.  (Not to be confused with GWAR or taken as an abbreviation for gnarly.)

This day just feels like it's starting right out with suck.  Call it an ache-augmented premonition.  Between feeling as tired and achy as I am, and Wen the Eternally Surprised being home sick with an ear infection, I think I'm going to cancel my physical therapy appointment for today.  It's just not gonna fly.

Nominative determinism OTD

On this day in 1877, according to NPR, Thomas J. Crapper patented a flush toilet with a tank and pull chain.  (Wikipedia reports that Crapper didn't actually invent the flush toilet; that is apparently credited to Sir John Harington, in 1596, but he did hold a total of nine patents, three of them for improvements to the flush toilet, including the floating ballcock.)
