Love, Hate and Technology....

There's something that every house in America has in common, and in Seattle it's provided by The Major Concern. It facilitates a lot of things, and restricts quite a few other things. A good part of my job seems to be spent discussing it with co-workers or homeowners. The homeowners, when they notice it at all, are usually mad at it, or distrust it somehow.

People come by every month or so just to look at it. Scores of people and processor time are devoted to its accuracy and well-being. But there are those who plot against it, who try to trick it - and by extension, trick The Major Concern. They add a touch of melodrama to it's otherwise mundane life.

But enough: The Colonel and I, along with the livestock, are going to the Grand Coulee Dam this weekend. We plan to inspect this thing they call hydroelectricity. I'll report back once I have something to say.

Happy Memorial Day, Darlings!
