In other news, there was a water main break down near Georgia Tech, we're told (I blame them) and we have no water. "We" are rather dependent on an easy supply of sanitary running water in our lives.
As for city life, it's obviously to my liking here. But I'm pretty flexible, I used to spend summers on a farm in the country, and mostly have lived in the 'burbs in my life time. I have still spent more years in Ohio than any other state, but that will change, hopefully, in another decade or so. Maybe that two decades.
Huh.
I can appreciate how big a different rural electrification meant in the lives of so many. Aside from lights, you could now have running water and an electric stove.
The early parts of my Dad's life were hardly different from a person living 200 years ago.
