Did you bring a hair dryer?

Did you bring a hair dryer?

Somebody has stolen my hair dryer.

This, for example, is my tumble dryer.

It looks like a hair dryer from Mars.

So they ended up an Iron Age European society, virtually unable to make their own iron. A second item on my checklist is climate change. Climate can get warmer or colder or dryer or wetter.

That justification will not convince economists, who prefer a dryer sort of reasoning. But it is not out of place to remind ourselves that economists and bureaucrats need not always have things their own way.

I was trying to remind myself of the simple, universal, little pleasures that we all love, but we just don't talk about enough things like waiters and waitresses who bring you free refills without asking, being the first table to get called up to the dinner buffet at a wedding, wearing warm underwear from just out of the dryer, or when cashiers open up a new check out lane at the grocery store and you get to be first in line even if you were last at the other line, swoop right in there.
