But Puget persuaded the FHA that the beauty of a wireless front lawn increased the value of the average subdivisions plot by $200.

This is entirely irrational, of course; but once at sea those ties disappear: the fact that home is as near as the wireless makes no difference. Even the largest ship is lost at sea; you, lost with it, are thrown on your resources. Your life becomes more elemental; not necessarily more primitive, as though you had gone camping, but more emotionally elemental. I noticed this first with my reactions toward others: they became plus...
