The further adventures of an earthbound alien

My guidebook tells me that Singapore considers the air conditioner the greatest invention of the 20th century. Too bad that polio vaccine didn’t make the cut. That’s what I had my money on. Some see the “Aircon” (as they call it here) as the beginning of the end. It’s mans ability to create a simple object that would cater our immediate comfort while destroying our future. Me? It makes me cold. It’s nice when you first get in, to stand in front of a cool blast and watch your clothes slowly dry. And any environmental concerns are justified by that blast of sanity.

Next time: the visitor!
