Faucets?

[nonionay]

This morning I went to take a shower. The faucets are those bubbly-cross types which add to the "I'm staying in an old hotel" ambience. I turn the hot-water faucet, and nothing happens. I turn the cold-water faucet, and nothing happens. Around and around they turn, and nothing happens. "Well, I won't take a shower," I think. How could a fancy plce like this have broken plumbing? Then, just for the hell of it, I turned the faucet the other way. And Lo! The water turned on.

Am I crazy? I'm thinking counter-clockwise, "lefty-loosey" is the default motion. But in this case, it was right.

In other news, I'm saddened that the clouds haven't lifted to give me more than a tantalizing glimpse of the Olympics out our tenth story window. :-(

I read that last line and was like, "What? Since when are they holding the Olympics anywhere around there, and it's not even the right time of year, is it?" And then I realized you meant the mountains. ~_^
