Peace And Quiet, Finally In Seattle
This past week a new breaker box and generator hook up were installed in my house. These also power the studio, so were a major improvement. No more risk of fire from a very old and outdated breaker box, no more having to throw a dozen switches before turning on the generator.
The very best thing though is that this was the last project of the year! The contractors arrived very early this spring and I've finally gotten to wave goodbye to them for the last time. While the improvements are perfectly splendid, I must admit that having my home back is truly wonderful. I never realized until I had lost them just how tremendous peace and quiet can be!

A dozen switches...I know that you were talking about electrical switches, Ms. Milliscent, but my mind turns to the more flexible and chastising varieties, willow, birch, peach, etc. Do you have those on your property? You have written about using switches; do you get them directly from your own trees? What kind are your favorite to use?
Inquiring minds...

michael,
Of course the switches you mention are much more fun!
I have here three willow and one birch trees, all of which make great switches. Alas, peach trees don't seem to grow in the mountains.
Apple trees make great switches too, and I've brought switches home from as far as Hawaii.
Most of my play of that kind though is done with rattan, while very common in bdsm toybags everywhere I find it to be an extremely versatile material.
