straight from the fridge, daddio

When I was a kid, there were certain things we didn't have. Not because we couldn't afford them, this isn't that kind of anecdote, but because my father, for one reason or another, wouldn't buy them. He had this weird economical streak that would come out in response to particular stimuli, to wit: He hated to pay for optional features on anything

Hooray! *happydance*

I was unconvinced of the merits of automatic icemakers until I started living with one. One of summer's minor tediums and occasional hassles (damn, out of ice at an inconvenient time) just... vanished.

You know, back in my day

We didn't have these "freezers." The only people who got cold food had to extrude the ice from a special gland that some fancy people were born with. They kept the ice cold by wrapping it with straw and sitting on it so it'd maybe hatch into more ice. And our drinks were actually usually pretty warm but we liked it!

Consarn it.
