Stuff Happens
You know how it is, just when you need something urgently: Stuff Happens
In addition to selling the kits I sell books about Washington Island and also do a little printing for one of the local museums. This museum stays open until Columbus Day. They are out of two items I print for them. So I had to buy a new printer cartridge because the last cartridge I bought pooped out after 400 sheets, thanks a lot HP ! This was partially my fault, I had bought the extra life cartidge but had been sent the regular cartridge.
Stuff Happens.
The new cartridge arrived (from Ebay) and it was a new, genuine HP. I tried using it and got this:

| perfect only for printing horizontal pictures of zebras ? |
Stuff Happens.
I will try to return the cartridge for a refund and buy a different one. But this will take a few days and it's already been over a week since the order. Pretty soon it will be Labor Day and Columbus Day is coming up.
BTW, I was tickled to find the origin of the phrase: Stuff Happens. It happens to be from one of my favorite old time radio shows: Vic and Sade. The first occurrence (at least for which there is an mp3 file) is October 14, 1941: (it's at about 13:50 if you want to skip ahead)

Did the GIs pick up the phrase: STUFF HAPPENS and change it slightly to the current vulgar but more forceful form ? :)

Update 9-3-22: Ebay refunded my payment for the bad cart. The seller didn't even bother to respond.
