My hubby cares about the housework. He has a mini-conniption fit if things aren't clean and I tell him that I have more important things to do. I told him it's a good thing he has 2 hands to clean with - he'll be able to clean faster that way. He didn't think it was as funny as I...

Haha...it's Eloy/Marana - so "middle of nowhere" is about as exact as it gets
