Bfloblog found this festive little Rich Jeanneret tune, just in time for Christmas. In turn, I give it to you. 🙂 Update: There’s also a video!
A couple years ago, my father-in-law kept talking about going “leak hunting”. That sounded like what we do at the Terminal on rainy Saturdays to find drains that need to be repaired.
