The Horse who Races Cars

I just found this video in our library.  My sister took it while she was here in June and I forgot how much I love it.  Now that I have the YouTube thing down, I'll start posting more appropriate videos, i.e. - surf/house/landscape.  This one was just too entertaining to pass up though.  It's a horse in Hacienda Iguana who loves racing cars.



Then there is this story.  A couple of days ago, after our second tank of propane ran out surprisingly quickly  on the fridge, we connected a new one, ignited the pilot, and a giant flame shot out of the bottom, setting the line on fire.  Seriously.  We quickly snuffed out the line, used the old soapy water gas leak test and sure enough, found that the crazy Tecnosol guys who "installed" our fridge, forgot to tighten one of the valves.  After replacing the shoddy  line they gave us with an industrial strength one instead, and tightening all important knobs and whatnots, we have a gas leak free appliance.  Now that's not too much to ask out of a brand-new, two-thousand dollar refrigerator, is it?  We've decided that in the future, when it comes to important tasks such as dealing with things that could potentially catch on fire, that maybe it would be more appropriate to deal with the matters ourselves, instead of entrusting shady movers with zero experience in the matter, to do it for us.  Lesson learned.
