This morning I was awakened about 45 minutes early by the words “Good morning, home owner.” Â This is a phrase to strike terror into the hearts of even the most manly of men at 6:30 in the morning. Â It is a collection of words that says “something is wrong and it is going to be time consuming, expensive and irritating to fix.” Â It’s rather a convenient shorthand, expressing in six syllables what it would take many more to convey otherwise.
