Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

    About 10 minutes ago my plumber said my problem may cost in the neighborhood of $30k to fix. Yay.

        Sewer line is sagging, so there’s a 30ft section that is trapping anything that gets flushed or drained. I called them out to fix a backup, and they found why it backed up alright.

        He had to leave to get a better locator to see exactly where in the yard/street would need to be dug up, but it seems to be pretty close to the city connection, so probably in or near the street, which could make the cost that high if it involves excavating the road.
