Yesterday in my sweaty, irritable post-nap stupor I used a rolled up Independent Weekly to kill a fly that had landed on our Pur faucet filter. I have been lifting weights and I guess I am too strong for my own good. One swat broke the faucet filter clean off. Clinton and I decided it was a blessing in disguise, because we hate that stupid filter anyway and we’re not getting a new one. Too bad we just bought a new 6-pack of filter refills at Costco. Anyone need them?
