Staycations?

Seriously, news channel 4 just did a special report about the "growing
trend of staycations."

There is a wikipedia page explaining staycation.

Typing on a non-networked machine

So this getting in touch with Danielle (e:paul,45806) reminded me of one of the most fun nights of my high school years. It was before the internet touched my life. She had this word processor. Not the computer type, but the kind you type into and can edit and print. Like a hybrid mini terminal/typerwiter. I think it looked something like this.

We spent the evening typing one sentence after another into the machine creating a story of sorts. I wonder what it said. I serioulsy, can't remember a thing about it - maybe she can. I do remember wandering around afterwards and imagining that everytime we stepped on a sewer cover that we were transported into another universe. I started to belive it after a while because everytime we would step on one, no more cars or anyone went by and it snowed and snowed.

Its crazy how much time I spent just wandering around in the snow in my youth. I do just about everything to avoid it now.

Words that annoy me

Unbleached
What is it with words like unbleached. I was reading the ingredients on some bread that said it contained unbleached flour. To me, it seems like it should really be non-bleached flour as unbleached implies that it was bleached and then the bleaching was removed or something.

Like, how untying your shoelace kind of requires that it be tied in the first place.

Wireless Thermostats
Does anyone have a wireless thermostat. I want one but I never saw one before. I ams ure they exist.
