In Memory of the Creepy Bathroom Light

Shack life has been relatively quiet since the water pipe fiasco of New Year's Day. The foundation is yet to implode (entirely), and Dad hasn't been coming up with a whole lot if innovative home solutions these last couple weeks. We did, however, hit a spot of bother today.

The much-talked about Creepy Bathroom always had an independently controlled light bulb to illuminate the situation for its occupant. This light bulb was controlled by a pull-string that hung down just beyond the door. In recent days, it has taken more and more effort to get the light to turn on and off. Clearly the strain was becoming unbearable, because when the string was pulled today in an effort to turn the light off, not only did the light go off, but so did the string! This has caused Dad to be doing a bit of work in there today - we may no longer have the light be independent, but just always on if the kitchen light is on. Oh well, I guess we won't be saving the planet.
