I've been struck by gratitude today.

For electricity... It powers so much, and can be generated in a whole bunch of ways.

And mirrors! I realized I take for granted being able to see my reflection anytime I like.

What tops your list of modern conveniences you're grateful for?

Mine's something like this:

1. Washers

2. Freezers

3. Water pumps/indoor plumbing

4. Trains

5. Cars

6. Sewing machines

7. Lights

8. Telephones

9. Dishwashers

10. Dryers

11. Furnaces

12. Stoves

Maybe smartphones, internet, computers, and speakers belong on a whole new list, topped by Bitcoin!

Well worth thinking about!

Recording equipment. Electric guitars. Acoustic drums. Sound treatment. Synths. Sub freq. bass. Microphones.

Access to clean water has got to top the list.

Well pumps and furnaces are pretty high on my list. I can attest that hauling big buckets of water uphill from the nearby stream so we can flush the toilets is not a task I relish.
