My younger brother gets runs of crap luck from time to time - his place in Arlington, TX has had a cluster-activity with the swimming pool and soil.

A run of PITA stuff is what finally pried me loose from my place in the woods near Sandpoint, ID to move to the Boise area.

But I have a lot to be thankful for, and I learned long ago that it's how we react to problems that affects us the most.
There's always someone worse off and suffering, who'd gladly trade their situation for ours...
