New Toilet in the News

I got a chuckle out of an article in yesterday's Burlington Free Press.  Then I kind of got irritated.


Kohler luxury toilet costs $6, 390: toilet
aficionados, look not further. A
Wisconsin company is promising you
"a figment of beauty and geometry"
with piano music, feet warmers, and a
slew of other amenities--if you are
willing to flush out nearly $6,400.
Kohler Co. is preparing to release its
high end Numi toilet this fall. When it
senses your presence, the toilet
automatically raises an adjustable-
height cover. A night light guides you
to its heated seat. If you stay a
while, plug in you iPod or turn on
the built-in FM radio. A floor-level
vent blows warm air to keep your toes
warm.
I am sorry that a picture did not accompany this tidbit because I am most curious to know what it looks like. Personally, I am not even considering buying one of these until it is perfected. I want a toilet that can sense gender and automatically open the lid only or both lid and seat. I guess I will have to keep weaing slippers when floors are chilly until then.

Although politicians haven't seemed to catch on, has anyone else noticed that our economy is totally broken right now?  I'm having to bite the bullet, fill my car with gas, and go grocery shopping.  It's getting traumatic. And yet, there are $6400 toilets on offer and some people with enough money to buy them.

What a world.

  1. I did see a picture of that toilet, can't remember where so I can't send a link. It is quit simplistic and modern, bordering on ugly. I have a few better uses for $6400.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
