Do both, but smack yourself particularly hard if your wife hasn't already done that. grin


Yep, really hard kick in the backside so you learn and remember. No liquid fuels in the house under any circumstances!

However, you had adequate backup to control the situation. That counts for something. Errors in judgement occur in all of us, which is why layers of safety training and preparedness are needed.

BTW, flowers for your wife, quickly. You've got a keeper there. And you've flared off points in a serious way.
