I just remembered something else abt that dishwasher and my ferrets in
California -- it was one of the roll-around portable models, and one
day a few of my ferrets found they cd squeeze in past where the hoses
pulled out of the machine at the back. There was no way to block where
they were getting in, but the machine was heavy to roll, so I kept it
pushed against the wall and counter on both sides. A couple of times I
forgot, and then I spent a while on my belly at the hole w Ferretone.

In those days I had 10 ferrets. It was wonderful, despite -- or partly
because of -- the chaos. I really miss it.

Living here, as I write to non-Ethiopians and when I talk to
Ethiopians, I have to keep in mind whether what I refer to will be
familiar, or do I need to explain. It's been so long now since I've
a dishwasher, that when I wrote the email abt Robert getting caught,
my brain reversed the translation order and I wondered if FMLers wd
know what the inside of a dishwasher was like!
