Years and years ago, a family friend gave a pressure washer to me. It sat in a basement for more than a decade until this last summer when I decided to see if it actually worked. It did so, I cleaned off the deck, and cleaned out the garage which had temporarily converted into an animal shelter.

I decided the next step would be to clear off the drive way. Fist day, it went fine, but ran out of power cord and hose. Today, I tried to rectify that, and it was just one thing after another.

I'm not the handiest fellow around, but should have been very simple.

Long story short, as soon as got the extra hose attached is when things realy seemed to have gone wrong.

I don't know if it was that the hose hadn't been properly cleaned, it'd been used irrigate the backyard, but it hadn't been cleared all summer. Maybe it was dirty, and that clogged something up in the washer?

There was a cap on the back of the pressure washer that came off. I assume it was some kind of rear tank for adding car cleaner. I didn't really think about it, and left the cap off, and the tank empty. It may have created extra airflow that the washer didn't like.

I tried using a new attachment fo the sprayer, and that seemed to have been clogged up. I don't know it was dirty to begin with, or if the dirty hose did it.

The circuit breaker popped at some point, and I Had to reset it. Fuses were fine, and the pressure washer would start, but it sounded like it was grinding coffee and it didn't create any pressure.

What did I do wrong, and how might it be fixed?

Foreshadowing is so often on the nose that it serves as a spoiler for those who are the least bit genre saavy. But what about hiding it in plain sight by establishing in-setting rules that aren't on the face of it rules at all?

Aeris has her backstory, for the most part, laid out concisely after she's captured by Shinra during the plate drop. How her mother died, how she adjusted to her new home with her adoptive parent. Aeris is happy.

Fast forward a bit to the Kalm flashback. Sephiroth in the mansion basement, pouring over research notes and historical documents. He stops and asks "Why did Professor Gast leave? Why did he die?"

This is a major hint that Sephiroth is not a Cetra, despite several characters including himself claiming him to be. That is to say...Sephiroth feels grief for a man who died decades ago when he was still a boy.

In comparison to Aeris who could still communicate with her departed mother, and had closure after her death. Cetra process grief in an entirely different way from other people. In a way that Sephiroth simply didn't.

Or are they more original?

Google says the first game is based on "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" a 1989 graphic novel that explored the mysterious and mystical history of the asylum. "Arkham Knight" seems like an adaptation of both "The Killing Joke" and "Under the Red Hood".

I haven't been able to determine if "City" and "Origins" are based on any comics, though maybe Origins very loosely follows Bane's original storyline.
