Addiction 2021.4

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We have one of those also.

Foxes and other wild animals visit our yard regularly.

You’d love my “family” room. It’s got two sets of switches for two sets of recessed lights and when I installed LED compatible dimmers, I screwed up the logic and now one set has to be up-down when both sets of lights are on or off. All switches are right side up.

When I first posted that, I was thinking that intentionally wiring a circuit like that would be a great way to **** with someone with OCD. If a room in my house was wired like that, I'd probably be able to ignore it for a couple months, but then I'd have to yank it and rewire.

Is Sharpsville a magical place at Christmas? Could it be the setting for a Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movie? Big city ex-pat returns home to find love under the town square tree?

I’m actually pretty sure it’s wired wrong. I futzed around with it once and couldn’t figure it out. I’ve got better things to do with my time.
