Last night, coming home late from a night of singing with Midwest Vocal Express, I couldn't get the door from the garage to latch. The little thingy-doodle wasn't springing out and catching on the plate in the jamb.
Time to get an old friend to help out...
...with a shot of WD40 through the bendy red straw. Developed in1953 to protect the outer skin of the Atlas rocket from rust and corrosion, the proper formulation was achieved on the "40th" attempt. "WD" was long thought to stand for "War Department," but in reality means "Water Displacement." Find out more than you would ever want to know about WD40 HERE.
WD40 has worked its magic again, and now the door stays latched. It could have been problematic (and noisy) once our alarm system was set, if the door had slipped open.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is like President Bush's WD40. While he stayed in the relative safety of Saudi Arabia, Condi arrived in Baghdad with no advance notice, and immediately went into talks with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Rice was trying to build on progress made and encourage further reconciliation.
