  “Uh, hi. I wonder is it possible to fix the luck button on my phone?” “Wow you don’t see those any more, it’s in good nick otherwise?” “Yeah, I’ve kept it because I like the physical luck button. I looked it up on ihexit.com but it said repair difficulty impossible. So I brought it to you.” “Awww, you’re too kind” “Do you think you can save it?” “Chances are good. The impossible rating is because the case is a one piece casting and can’t be opened without spilling the magic. UNLESS y...

  “I don’t know how they know, but half the lost cats in this neighbourhood end up in my middle kid’s bedroom, up the trellis, across the carport roof, and in the window. It’s like there’s a sign or something” “Like that one?” “Where!” “Oh, you don’t have the Sight?

  Good news, the mouse plague is going to get solved soon! Thank Hera, I’m so over this. Wait, none of your ideas are ever disaster free. What’s the catch.
