just flip on the kitchen tv while waiting for coffee water to boil

They're talking about a millionaire macaw fanatic and showing gorgeous pictures of his favored bird as they explain the lengths to which he goes to stave off its extinction. So good thing the kettle makes a fearsome racket when the water's boiling or I would have boiled off all the water in the kettle. It's kind of odd being back among the movers and shakers after so long off in my backwoods kinds of places. You can freaking punch in channels in the 700s and get everything on High Definition and spend quite a lot of time being flummoxed by the amazing things they can do with digital imagery these days. You can stick a glass up to a subtle little indentation and it, the glass, fills with water. People come to haul off your recycling and your compostables with your junk. Infinite gradations of services to match whims you don't even know you have yet. Best of all: world class hummus just a few minutes away....
