The lateral cost of cooled air
Today’s lesson involves the cost of cool air. Noise. Ever wonder why the AC units on camping trailers are roof-mounted? It’s to allow the neighbours to hear when you’re being spoiled. Inside the rig, the fan covers up the vibration from above. Across the way (yes, even inside the house) I can tell that the outside is less comfortable than in.
Anyhow, we’ve added some new kitchen stuff, in case we decide to go boondocking. Seriously. Can’t afford to keep the restaurants in business, indefinitely. Speaking of which, our supper was excellent. Pan-seared scallops and fishcake (the real ones, not those orange hockey pucks of my youth). I’d grade this meal as better than what we get on menus locally, and I suspect the cost to be less (although none of us factor in the initial price of our kitchens, now do we?)
The “politics as a spectator sport” continues. In ON, they’re getting ready for the local version of “loco”. Meanwhile, south of the border (that lacks a wall for our own good), the story about a meeting that took place but didn’t take place but might have continues to fuel talk TV. Some high-priced lawyers can’t stop yapping.
The post office in Cavendish caught fire this afternoon. No tourists were singed. Although the local story is that this is tied into the L.M. Montgomery mythos, the structure was built long after her departure for other places. Guess we only wished she’d worked there. A friend remembers the construction, so this won’t need Snopes to intervene. And if you “got a letter from long ago”, hang onto it.
