The pump, the workmen, the infectious arm-biter -- they're all on the same team! <br /><br />You, however, are the kind of person who inevitably rises above these things. You will get that garden done, "inch by inch, row by row" (as Johnny Denver put it).<br /><br />Best wishes in dealing with it all.
