Went back to the home supply store yesterday to review the garden hose situation.  We found a simple garden hose with its attachy-thingies attached already, and I asked the nice man if this was appropriate for a mirpeset.  THAT I asked correctly, I think.

He said it was just fine.

Brought it home.  Screwed in nicely to the outdoor faucet.  Turned the water on.  Water comes out, let's say, much less enthusiastically than one would want.  It kind of comes out as big drops. 

Don't know if I have the energy to return this one and start again.  I may just deal with it.

Yesterday we drove to the big Jerusalem Mall - our Waze lady was a big help and we didn't get lost.  She said she knows the way to Efrat, but I'm not sure we can trust her.  I mean I don't really know her that well.  But Waze is very cool - they warned us of a "speed trap" even though it was actually the checkpoint on 443.  But I mean how would they know that?
