Oct 7, 2003 The more improvements are made the more things are crappy. Take those automatic toilets that flush. We always put the tissue safety paper down -- in its own way hard to do, because of trying to tear the center loose -- but just as a person lays it down -- swoosh! The toilet flushes. I dont call that an improvement. Then there are the doors that open automatically. Except when you are going OUT the IN. Of course, that is the day the cell phone is sending a picture of the new chair your wife wants to buy at improved price of $1500 for something that was $500 last year this time. Now its improved by having special circumstance floral fabric that repels dogs and cats. How about the vacuum cleaners? Remember how you plugged it in and turn the switch? Zoom -- you were off -- scaring the cat up the curtain and sucking up the Lego blocks. Now youve got serious and fatal decisions to make. Vinyl, short carpet, long carpet, wood or cement? Wet or dry? Smooth or coarse? Its not the kind of machine you can ride either. Top power is sadly lacking in speed. Nothing to crow about with this appliances inventions. Take the coffee pot. Just take it and keep it too. The one I had last year did not grind, perk, express, late or mocha. At least not in the middle of the night when the power improves its rush to serve us. I just bought a microwave. It boils, burns and scorches just like the old one. However, this new IMPROVED microwave turns up the thermostat, programs the television and puts out the cat after it coaxes Fluffy off the curtain. All this and after Ive ridden by on my new super vac with the trimmer going. Dont that just beat all? ------------ Visit www.RDLarson.com or email RD Larson: RD Larson419@aol.com ------------ |
