Default bear lover's old timers

We used to have a big generator to make our electricity on Bear; finally electricity came but if everyone on the line before you had breakfast at the same time it would take forever to toast you bread. Then we got more electricty and a telephone!!!!!! at first it was party lines and it was impossible to use in the evenings because Camp Lawrence counselors would be on the line . Some people got hot water heaters. Some people waited for many years to get the new conveniences. Cameras, electric heat, dish tv - holy cow what is next?
