no, that's my kitchen fan.  needs oiling.  badly.

anyway, thanks for the tip about The Big Fix, but Amazon want $25 for it.
Not in my budget this pay  period, nor probably next one either...

here is my try at a brief, informative post:
Zomes were mentioned in The Last Whole Earth Catalog,
which came out in 1970.
here is some more about that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zome

I could ramble on and on about the Whole Earth Catalog and how cool it was,
and how people built these anarchist paradises like Drop City,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_City and they were
ruined by drug abuse, implacable authorities and simple human irresponsibility
in many cases, and so forth...but was hoping maybe Pynchon would set his
next novel in such a place and not have it fall prey to those forces, since
Coraghessen Boyle has already done a pretty  good job of showing that
in his novel,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_City_(novel)
which I keep meaning to read, and now probably really will as an appendage
to reading IV.

But I won't (Oops - too late!)
