Thoughts for the day
I think I have finally figured out how to start posting my blog again. I’m
not clear on what I finally did but today I suddenly had my blog back on my
computer.
The monsoon has returned this week. There have been good rain showers
most days. It look like there will still be rain today.
This rain has been nice. I’ve been watering for Faith and Andy while they
went to Indiana. I only had to water one day this whole week.
My gutters filled with pine needles. I messaged the landlord at least 5
times but no one cleaned the gutter. Two days ago, after a big storm I took
some pictures of the water in the gutter, and running over to the painted eaves
under the gutter. Finally someone came and cleaned them. I messaged him when it
was done. He apologized for it taking so long and thanked me for being very
persistent in getting them cleaned.
Myths from Medieval Times
People Weren't All Tiny
While it's true that people
were generally smaller in the past than they are today, the difference between
an average person in medieval times and an average person in the 21st century
aren't particularly dramatic.
Average heights were around
5'6" for men and 5'2" for women — only a couple of inches off from
modern-day averages. The myth of people being dramatically smaller during
medieval times arose partly from misunderstandings of historical armor sizes.
Things That Worked Better Before They Were “Improved” by
Technology
Windows That Open Without
Electronics
The simple hand-crank window
in cars never failed you. No electric motors to burn out, no switches to
malfunction – just reliable mechanical operation that worked every time. While
power windows are convenient, there’s something satisfying about that manual
control, and you never had to worry about being trapped if your car’s
electrical system failed.
