I like having a real house, where I can keep my stuff. I figure it's good to have knowledge of the things that this technologically marvelous age have provided. After all, we have sacrificed our sense of simplicity to get here; and we're not going to get the clean air, or clear water, or darkness, or solitude back whether we like it or not. I do have some rules about buying stuff, though. It's got to be esthetically pleasing. It has to be a graceful solution. It has to be practical and easy to use. It has to have inherent value. It has to be priced somewhere below my soul. I have to be able to walk away without it at a moments notice.

I'm sure there are more (and better) rules, but these are the ones that come to mind.
