But perhaps most amazing is a 5000-watt generator, big enough to run the house and an air conditioner, and the thing can be turned on and off remotely from the house. We just sit here, warm and comfy, in our low-tech country place and enjoy the world the same way the cave man did ten thousand years ago. High-tech is not all its cracked up to be. This is a lot simpler life. Good old woodstove heat.
TV is just another great big high-tech bother.
They've got some good radios these days. Ours is a SONY ICF-2003 AM, FM, LW, MW, SW computerized receiver. You can pull in the whole world, preset twenty stations, and scan the whole thing automatically to find something interesting. Well, we have one of those key flippers that honks the horn when you push it, even if you are fairly far away. You have never seen anything quite as startled as that old dog when I honk that horn at him, and I'm sittin' on the front porch.
