Subject: Re: icebox



I think that several years ago when wood-burning stoves were becoming

politically positive for yuppie domiciles "wood-burning ranges" were

being marketed. I think I saw one in a store or a home; it had a firebox

that gave off heat but also had a "rangetop" above the firebox. But

I also have funny dreams occasionally.



I think in my teens or twenties I opted for 'refrigerator' because it

bothered me that some people would use a brand name as a generic. That

would have been late teens, because we didn't have a refrigerator till I

was a senior in high school, when we also got our first deep freezer (1948).

We previously had ice boxes (the real thing).
