I guess that's pretty clogged.

As part of the Casa Blue Flooding Adventures, 2008 Edition, I was attempting to clear a (definitely tree-root-based) clog in my clothes washer drain. It drains, but not fast enough to take the full 15-20 gallons of water coming out of the machine all at once. I tried snaking it again, which didn't really change anything, so next I moved to the expansion bladder. For those not familiar, it expands to plug the pipe, then forces water in the direction of the clog, hoping to blast through it. So I hooked it up, and checked inside to make sure the seal was good, which it seemed to be. When I went outside to turn off the water, I heard water flowing...

...on the *roof*. :)


Time for more root poison. I hope it's not an important tree.

Well *that's* fucking scary.

This French documentary on the Evils of Monsanto has caused me to consider finding a way to make destroying them a lifelong devotion.

It's time to give some thought to a dealt penalty for corporations.

I want a bumper sticker that says "Monsanto : Satan in any religion"

In other news...

...I appear to have brought myself a rock.
