Thank you.

Here's another pic taken today. I'm trying to think of a name for it. I'm leaning towards, Dusty Surge Protector.

Speaking of old dusty things, the house I live in was built 101 years ago, in 1910. In trying to determine what bits of the house might be original, the only thing I'm reasonably certain is this one door knob/keyhole.

Do wooden floors and doors and trim bits last 101 years without showing major wear? I don't think so.

I have an old house too..... 1903.... but there is nothing original except the falling apart bricks in the basement.

coincidently, I just realized that my auto mechanic has been in business since 1910. I mean I've seen their signs on his building claiming this, and its on the calenders, refrigerator magnets, pens, ect.

but it didn't hit me until recently that, an auto mechanic in 1910 makes no sense? not here where I live. there could not be enough broken down vehicles to keep you making money.

I asked the guy, on tuesday when I was getting my oil changed.

apparently the two brothers that run the place.... their grandfather started the place dealing with horseshoes for horeses.

Cool story Arch. A large part of residential downtown Toronto, just northwest of the modern condos and business district, dates back to the turn of the XXth century. It's mostly narrow brick houses with simple, elegant trimmings, but the larger houses are quite spectacular and some of them retain their old arches that lead to horse "garages" in the back. Fascinating shit.
 
I have quite a few books but I don't read books any more. I have more books than just these.

Reading books was a very important part of my life for so long and now I just don't do it at all. It's probably been 5 years since I read a book.

Maybe someday I'll get back to reading.

Still I like my books. I like the look of them.

I have a shitload of dusty books too, in the hundreds. The last full book I read was The Smart Money by Michael Konik, about 2 years ago. The previous one must've been in college.

Sometimes I'll pick one I haven't read and proceed to read a few lines, then I'll put it down on a table, promising myself to go back to it ASAP. Just not right now.
 
Someone asked me yesterday if I could ever see myself living in a retirement home. I have some experience with retirement homes - my gram lived the last 10 years of her life slowly deteriorating in homes - also, I used to play music in a retirement home once-a-month back in the early 90's. They can be very depressing places.

However I finally said, "Yes, I could see myself running out the string in a retirement home if declining health and finances made it necessary. I believe happiness comes from the inside, not the outside - and I think I could entertain myself and be happy." And I envisioned a number of things with which I could occupy myself - and one of them would definitely be reading. I could recapture my love of reading.

It's a thought.
