    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    I hope it doesn't get any ideas as far as humans' weaknesses that way.

    Sitting up tonight listening to the WSM broadcasts on 650 kilocycles--quiet and relaxed, as I like it.

    Ways of cooling down an apartment without AC.

    Old-fashioned trick: hang heavy curtains over the window to keep the house cooler in the day, but open the window at night, even if it's raining, to take advantage of cool night air. Rise before sunup & close the window. Also: Table fan, the bigger, the better. The absolute Cadillac of fans is...

    Does anyone know about televisions?

    Rather than replace the television, could you turn the set off at night & use a whitenoise machine?

    Buying things you don’t need

    Same thing with sewing-machines; they expect you to buy The Latest Model instead of waiting and getting one that's adequate for your needs--they push you to buy either a very fancy one, or to buy a moderately fancy one to sell a fancier one later. Most people don't need all the fancy stitches to...

    Artificial light sickness

    Like a small lantern? Yes for a brief time. I have a small brass candlestick that looks like a saucer with a small handle and it helps for moving the light from room to room in the dark. One night I fell asleep without putting out the lights and nearly burned up the dresser as the candles got...

    Artificial light sickness

    I use the electric light and grumble a lot as I fantasize about eventually being able to afford a drafty old dump of a house to haunt--er, live in.

    Artificial light sickness

    Yes. I distinctly dislike artificial lighting. Old-school incandescents at about 40 watts are OK, but I really prefer candles, fire, kerosene lamp, or the new-fashioned yellowish LEDs. Something about bright blue is disorienting.

    What can you do with a special interest?

    I love restoring antiques, playing music, listening to music, fixing machinery, and diving deep into history and culture-- Why on the good green earth I didn't become a piano tuner, I'll never know.
