Homeowner blues

Think our hot water heater died. No wonder. It must be half a century old. A decade or so ago, last time a plumber was here (on another matter), he looked at it and said, Man, they don't make them like that any more. He estimated then it was over forty years old. So hassle and expense and the rest. We're both close to ready to move where a landlord takes care of things like this. Did a batch of finals and ran out of steam. Should do more today but may not. More tired than I should be at this hour.
