The dormouse sleeps for seven months. The weather does not. The Germans check the forecast anyway.
A day for the drawer that has three almost-right screws, old batteries, tape, string, and the answer to a small emergency.
A day for the person who listens to the problem, finds the part, and knows whether it can be saved.
