BLAST... EASTWARD..  BELOW ZERO.. ARTIC.. CATHEDRAL CEILINGS..  FLORIDA...SNOWPLOW....all bad words... as i panic and load the kitchen up with about 1/2 a cord of wood for that wonderful wood stove

GLENWOOD. "E".

  PATENTED  FEBRUARY 25 1886

AND THE REST OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS HOUSE WERE PATTENTED IN THE PAST 5 YEARS.. AND ARE ALREADY OUTDATED AND MALFUNCTIONING.

ANYONE WANT TO GO BACK AND FIND SOME MORE PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING "ANTIQUES" ?

at this time of year, my biggest fear is to get all covered with soap and shampoo in the bath....and loose the hot water.

there is a song about that ... but you are lucky today.....fortunately i can not locate it...something about.."if only ike and kruschev would sit down face to face .. in the bath.. the work of human kindness ..would be solved as long as kruschev got the end without the taps..  the show was....."at the drop of a hat" donald swann and michael flanders--spectacular " satire....word people..." 

The purpose of satire, it has been rightly said, is to strip off the veneer of comforting illusion and cosy half-truth. And our job, as I see it, is to put it back again.

they have a song for nearly everything... like  land  developers  as related to stonehenge " what on earth do you need a henge for?"

back to warm... and stove... i do not know of a better designed anything ,, than that stove..- it lifts apart without any tools into pieces easily carried by one person...--- the 6 "burner " circles are interchangeable-- and can be lifted out of position with a handle that  does not get hot.....plus the unique clank as things fall into place-- is just plain charming and reassuring.. i just unloaded 5 gallon bucket of cool ashes from the cool ash collecting section accessed with said clank...

with the oncoming "blast". i think i will move my chair into the kitchen... now if i hung a tarp off the loft, to eliminate the cathedral ceiling part.....  that kitchen would be realllllly toasty  - add one twin mattress--- and  with my 3 dogs, i might make it to muddy march.
