Flushed with pride

Behold, the Champion 4! Low water consumption, mold- and mildew-resistant, patented flush system, and chair-height bowl. It is the newest resident of our lavatory, and Sean and I (with an assist from Curtis) installed it yesterday afternoon after the patented flush system in our old commode gave up the ghost. What could be more American than undertaking a home improvement project this glorious holiday weekend? How better to memorialize those who have served this country than to install an American Standard fixture (made in Mexico) in our not-about-to-be-repossessed home? Perhaps the only better way I could prove what a true patriot I am would be to shell out $$$ to see the latest Indiana Jones installment on its opening weekend -- if that's the case, than I am a true blue American! (Indy assessment: eh.)
