Quote of the Week
In the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution was one of several revolutions that overturned society. Mechanical creatures intruded into farms and homes, but still this invasion had no name. Finally, in 1802, Johann Beckmann, an economics professor at Gottingen University gave this ascending force its name [technology] . . . He hoped his outline [a textbook titled Guide to Technology] would become the first course in the subject. It did that and more. It also gave a name to what we do. Once named, we could now see it. Having seen it, we wondered how anyone could not have seen it.

I got some new hearing aids, and with them a little charger. When I put the hearing aids into their appropriate slots, the charger looks exactly like the pointy-haired (and incompetent) manager in the Dilbert cartoon strip.

Jim T – 🙂 Send photos!
There must be a song in there somewhere.
I see faces,
People’s faces,
I see them in so many strange places
And I’m shocked
Everybody else doesn’t see them too.
Hint: the tune is “I feel pretty.”

Tom – 🙂 I didn’t even need the hint, which means your writing is spot-on.
It’s Lumiere, from Beauty and the Beast! Escaped one magical enchantment only to be turned into a sconce!
Mary – Of course! I knew it looked familiar.
It’s all in the downcast eyelashes. 😀 Coy.
Barbara – 🙂
