It’s 91ºF (33ºC) as I write this (5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 13th) in Accordion Bay, so yes, having a store that like this one, which carries nothing but fans makes complete sense. Our house has those combo ceiling fans/lights in the living room and bedrooms, and I think I have yet to see a home here that doesn’t have at least one.

Someday, I want to have an office with one of these hanging from the ceiling, spinning slowly above my mahogany desk as I work, resplendent in my linen shirt and Panama hat, sipping a Weng Weng cocktail:

Today’s the last day you can watch Col. Chris Hadfield’s “Space Oddity” cover on YouTube

Today, Tuesday, May 13th, 2014, is the last day you can watch the video of David Bowie’s Space Oddity that Colonel Chris Hadfield recorded aboard the International Space Station.

He was able to get a license for the song for a year, and that year’s up. So go watch it now, before it vanishes!

(Or if you’re feeling like a bit of a rebel, you may want to download it before it disappears. It doesn’t take much searching to find out how to download YouTube videos.)

The “Bathe & Brew” combination coffee maker / shower soap dispenser sounds like a great idea if you ignore certain practical problems. It’s also not real, but the key component of the Prank Gift Box kit, available for US$6.99 at Amazon:
