Appliance Angst

We received an unusual gift from my in-laws a few Christmases ago - a garbage disposal.

Not just any garbage disposal, mind you. It has one full horsepower of grinding ferocity.

I wasn't able to fully appreciate the significance of all of that power until I accidentally lost my STONE pestle down it the other day.





The damage inflicted in less than three seconds was sort of terrifying.

I'm considering installing a remote control sensor so that the garbage disposal can be operated from a safe distance away.

Say...

... about 300 feet.
