Sax Maniac's Journal: Cleaning windows

I'm trying to spruce it up my house so I can sell it, and one the big things is to clean the windows. Not just spray the insides with Windex, but disassemble the entire thing and clean everything. This job will take the entire weekend, since it takes roughly a half-hour per window to do -- and that's with two people.

The first this is how amazingly dirty a window can get, yet you don't notice, because you can still see outside. Or maybe you're like me, you always keep the shades drawn. Once you actually clean it, it's like looking through a mirror - the outside suddently seems shiny and, heavens, in three dimensions.

The second thing is I can't get the "My Cousin Vinny" courtroom scene out of my head. You know where Vinny is questioning some country bumkin who witnessed the getaway, and has pictures of his disgusting trailer in hand: "Are you telling you that you saw the defendants through this bush and-- how many?-- one, two, three trees, through this rusty, crud-filled screen, and this filthy window?"

Yeah, it's sort of like that. Well, no rust on the screens.
