This photo says untouched, untainted, wild and free; not cleared away for highways or skyscrapers or subdivisions. Still a home for birds, squirrels and whatever crawls in its small spaces.

I’m watching a show that takes place in the mid 18th century; a time before cars, electricity, telephones, plumbing and heating and air conditioning. It’s tempting to think it might have been nice to live in that era but I would be hating it on the first 90°F day without air conditioning!
The rest of it I think I could do. Ride horses, use candles, write letters, read a lot of books, use an outhouse and get my water from the river.
What modern day convenience would you miss the most if you lived in the 18th century?
