Not nice.  I bent the arm today, 'coz it seemed like an 
interesting thing to do, and the results were interesting.  
There seems to be a better wiping action but it's not really 
raining.  Just that 'picturesque Irish mist' that foreign 
visitors love and we call 'drizzle'. (... or 'piss'.)

That would drive me insane.  Get it fixed, Ric!
