My 75-year-old Dad and my sister visited last weekend to celebrate my aunt's birthday and my sister's all in one visiting binge.

The system - we are sitting around the table talking and Dad mentions that he always has clean clothes now, that he in fact has most of his clothes in the closet and ready to go at a moment's notice because he did all

Clothing was cooked up by the anti-establishment, man.

who decides these things

I am amused that Dad in his old age has become a rule-breaker, but it's still in line with his primary character - what does this thing do, how do we solve this problem, how do we maximize or minimize something? He did it in his job for years and I think it's part of who he is. And when you retire, are a widower, the number of problems that need solving goes down, and you get time to focus on max/min problems such as: how do I minimize the number of loads of laundry I have to do

We recently had one one of those smart meters installed. Does he have one? I can see your Dad delighting in designing the optimal power consumption schedule!

super idea

Oh, dude! I am so getting him one? That'll keep him occupied for weeks. He and a buddy from work were getting together and discussing SkyMap for like years after Dad retired, talking about how to maximize it, get that data out there.
