Light for older eyes

My sewing room shares circuits with the living room and those for the dining room. The outlet for the iron and the dining room are together since I'm really not likely to be ironing during a special meal. Mr. Esther is quite vigilant about that sort of thing and I guess I'm surprised that he hasn't had the power company build our own substation just outside the garage. It could happen. Polly

My home was built in 1917. When we moved in it had two circuits - one upstairs, one downstairs with one outlet per room - plus a 220 line for the large window air conditioner. It now has two extra circuits for the kitchen alone, both on GFCI, one for the laundry room alone and another extra one downstairs for computer etc. and it and the tv. etc are both on surge protectors. Also an extra circuit upstairs, but nowhere near enough outlets. Of course, the central a/c installed shortly after we moved in is hard wired. The only thing that would persuade me to live in a new home would be outlets every six feet!!

Next week, I'm having a new roof put on my house. Steel standing-seam roofing. I want the photovoltaic film that is made to go on this type of roof, but the price isn't low enough yet. Word is that it will come down quite a bit in the next few years, and that efficiency is going up, which will make it much more feasible to do. I won't need a substation from the power company. We have sun about 350 days a year. I'll still need more outlets, though. ;-)

You can go off people......

It's cold, dreary and we've had heavy rain for the last three days. The heating's had to go on, and the forecast is no better. Still, I managed to stick with shorts from the beginning of April until last Saturday. Now me legs are feeling funny and 'wrong' from being all wrapped up.....

Mea Culpa! Mea maxima culpa!

I ran into this once before.... a child who was named Zachariah, who demanded to be called that and nothing else. Actually, Alex is my middle name. It is not short for Alexander, but an Anglization of the Hungarian word Sandor. First name is Arthur, and my friends are free to call me Art, but not Thur.

Lex? As in Lex Luthor? I kind of like it, I think.

Anyway, I hope the suggestion about the Squid was helpful. There is also a three way splitter that works just as well and is cheaper. I don't think those power supply transformers are going away in the near future.

There are surge suppressors on the market now that have spaces built in for all the pesky transformers that have transformed our lives.

She could always call you "Oy".

You are forgiven. ;->

"...who demanded to be called that and nothing else."??? I don't know why a request to be called by one's preferred name is a "demand".

And people should honor your request. You sign yourself "Alex", there's no way of knowing it that's a first, middle, or pseudonym, but it's how you should be addressed.

Yeah, that's what I was thinkin'.

It was, thanks. I had forgotten that discussion, it was written 10 months ago.
