Great thread, openeyes. I appreciate you sharing this experiment with us. It appears to be an experiment of deprivation -- a material fast, if you will. I have often been surprised at how much of modern life appears trivial and expendable once we learn to live without it.
Your observations are appreciated, openeyes. Keep them coming.
