I like low-tech, sturdy things. Bicycles, kites. Hand tools. Sextant and compass. Maps and charts. Bladed weapons and foils. Scalpels and scissors. Cast iron. Soapstone stoves. Water hoses. Screen doors. Acoustic musical instruments. Auditoriums. Pitch pipes. Staircases. Board games. Books. Hand cranks, cold springs. Gardening and independent power systems. Windmills and Russian fireplaces. Muscle cars. Push mowers. Surfboards and fishing poles. Root cellars and smoke houses. Chicken coops. Brass library ladders. Pottery wheels. Rope. Bagpipes.
