Now it's time for the last word with the great Lawrence O'Donnell.

Good evening, Lawrence.

Good evening, Rachel.

And I'm on blue sky too.

And, you know, if you can find Rachel, you can find me.

Rachel, you know when the, you know when the Maytag repairman, and I'm using that euphemistically, could be any repairman.

But in this case, I actually mean literally the Maytag repairman, gives you that window of 9 to 1, which I reserved today.

And the computer guaranteed me that that's what it was until last night when the computer suddenly told me.

It would be 1 to 4, which in my case meant four, which means this was the latest start

in actual travel progress to the studio in my work life by far. And what were you getting

repaired? Well, actually, you know, I'm in L.A., so my house was really close to the fire, as we know,

it did not burn.

There was no real damage, but there's a lot of stuff that goes wrong when the power's out for a month.

And so the washer, the dryer, the dishwasher, they refuse.

They just refuse to come back on after being off for a month, okay?

And there's a lot of other little weird things that you have to deal with.

Every single day has been some post-fire chore, really minor stuff when, you know, my neighbors lost their homes.

And so that was today's getting the dryer working.

But it works because here's why.

The Meg Teg repairman is brilliant and he's fast and he's fantastic and it's not up to him

exactly what time he's scheduled to show up at the anchorman's house because he doesn't know

it's an anchorman who has to be somewhere at a particular time.
