The dark mutterings of a former mild-mannered reporter for a large metropolitan daily newspaper, now living in obscurity in central Indiana.

Inconceivable
There are two of the Euro-style hinges on the door to the slider that holds our kitchen trash basket and the upper one let go this morning.
I fiddled with it without success. Even looked at a couple of non-helpful YouTube videos.
Since I already had to go in to town on other business, I stopped by the hardware department at Lowe's in hopes that I could get a solution to my problem.
I found myself talking with a red-vested Lowe's guy who looks a lot like the guy who kept saying "inconceivable" in The Princess Bride.
"Yeah, I have the same problem at my house," he said, adding that he hasn't figured out a fix either. But, he said, a new hinge would probably develop the same problem.
So I came home and fiddled with it some more and finally figured out which screw seems to keep it from disengaging.
