075/365: so close, but no cigar

I bought a really cool hooka yesterday. It was wrapped well in newspaper and a bag. I walked a long way across a parking lot with it, drove home, walked all the way up to our front door where I slipped on a tiny bit of ice which knocked me to my knee and I dropped the bag on the ice where a loud tinkling sound came from inside. Almost inside when the bulb of the hooka shattered. I was so very disappointed.

 

At least these things are modular and I can get a new bulb, but it was from the opposite end of the city and I made it within an inch of safety before I busted it.

 

They were pretty inexpensive and I'll likely get a few more of them, but I'm still upset with myself for letting it break. This is the kind of thing we'll never find in Snaketown, so I don't mind hauling a few to get there.
