Underrated
Sometimes amid the welter of modern life (is welter really a word? I think it is, but I'm too lazy to look it up) I forget about little conveniences that make it so easy. So here are two I've thought about lately:
Air conditioning. This is awesome. It's 90 degrees, 88% humidity, and a fan can't do ANYTHING except blow hot air around. But I can plug in and turn on my trusty AC, and in awhile, the heat has disipated and I can sleep or relax in cool, temperature-regulated comfort. What a freakin' great invention.
The flush toilet. Seriously. I never think about it, but can you really imagine the alternative? An outhouse? What if you had to leave the office to go out back and use the facilities? Gross.
And, randomly, here's a picture taken tonight at a baseball game. See me on the far end . . . now with bangs!
