A couple month ago, because I didn't have a 26 foot ladder, I came up

That's "hare-brained", not hair-brained. The allusion is to having the
brain of a small animal, not having hair growing on one's brain. (That
would be a pretty hairy situation.)

Sorry, just the copy editor in me. (Like seeing someone write "hone in
on" when what is wanted is "home in on", like a pigeon.)



I sometimes write "Holly smoke!" and forget to add [sic]. *snicker*
