I happened across that entry this afternoon, looking for something else entirely. But that old and irrelevant entry made me wonder.
With all this groping around that I'm doing, what if I found that broken handle for that broken switch?
Would I try to make repairs, so that I could switch it off again?
It's an interesting question, certainly, but the answer is indistinct to me.
Maybe if I'd open my damn eyes, I could see more clearly.
