likethebeerOk, I've got to get motivating. Today I give a House tour, and I've got to leave in 1/2 an hour. We'll see how it goes.
Our fundraiser called me Karen 3 times yesterday. I've worked w/her for 15 months. WTF!? When do I get to start called her Pam?
I've also started on FLLW's The Natural House, which is a book published in 1954. The beginning was lifted straight from his autobiography, but then he gets into the specifics of home building. I think he thought of it as a guide for people who wanted to build their own houses rather than one of his polemical speeches. Well, in addition to one of his polemical speeches. I'm not that insane. Really weird--he's telling people to move beyond the city and the "dormitory towns" of the suburbs, but for transportation, he suggests they get rid of their big cars, and get a little car that gets 30-40 mph to save money on the commute.
Ok, the man in no way ever drove a car like that ('cept for the Crosley Hotshots) and he's certainly not thinking about oil consumption the way we are, but still, giving that advice 50 years ago from that guy was pretty unexpected.
Ok. Just used the new deluxe Euro-coffee grinder today. Now I gotta go.
