It's been awhile since I have used this forum to vent about stupidity but a recent happening has me wondering how long we will be able to continue our existence without the watchful and benevolent eye of both Big Brother and trial lawyers.
While many parts of the country were hit by drought and were baked into a hard-pack boiler plate this past summer, the east coast was saturated with long-needed precipitation. But too much of a good thing has a whole other set of issues. Crops rotted in the fields and people who had never had water in their basements had to invest in a sump pump. Another unpleasant byproduct of all this damp and dreary weather is mold. The wall beneath a dripping air conditioner, the inside corners of your home, the edges of window jambs, any place there is any moisture will turn black. It's a pain but for decades people have dealt with it by wiping the affected areas with a bleach solution and the mold or mildew (as older generations referred to it) has disappeared. Who knew we were all being poisoned to death by this insidious creeping monster?
