Hosed.
The hose to my washing machine just failed. Well, I shouldn't say "just," as I suspect it had failed about 30 or 40 minutes ago and for the length of that time was rapidly flooding my garage and effectively hosing down everything stored on my shelves. Every cardboard box, every tool, every can of paint, my roommate's box of old photographs, even the Persian rug she keeps stored in there. Everything.
Well, that's not totally accurate. I shouldn't say "everything."
Her scuba gear? Totally, completely dry.

too bad the rest of that stuff wasn't inside the scuba gear.

The photographs are the biggest loss. It happened to all the pictures my dad took of me.
Which is unfortunate because, there's far less looking at me and talking about me than there should be.

That happened to me once, but it happened in the middle of the night. The sound of the water spraying everywhere woke me up....but I just thought it was raining hard, so I went back to sleep! I didn't discover the disaster until the next morning. Ouch!
