Don't mind him, Keith. If you think that mad cow disease makes the brain 
like swiss cheese, you should see what decades of vile poteen do. Explains 
lots of things, doesn't it?

I like the idea of the homestead elevator. Think of the many applications: 
moving people, animal feed, firewood, etc. to upper levels. It occurs that 
while commercial elevator companies are forced  to have super-high safety 
standards, we homesteaders used to living on the edge might very well be 
able to devise something at a fraction of the cost. Too bad his brain is 
largely wasted away; with his engineering solution to everything, he would 
in years past seized on this opportunity to lift mankind.
