We got electricity! A few of my friends have it but not many. I’d say that a little less than half of people in the city have it by now. Finally, we can have proper lighting in here. It’ll make it a load easier for me to read and do whatever at night, plus Momma can practice her sheet music and songs later. I bought myself a copy of Time a couple days ago but haven’t found the time to read it. Captain Rockefeller is on the cover, and boy, is he cute.
I know that electricity costs a bit, but Daddy got a new job in the city today! He’s working with architects and designers on making buildings. I’m not sure exactly what he does with them, but maybe he’s a supervisor or something. He sounds important. But I want to ask for a new gramophone. I’ve heard that electrical ones are made now, and I bet they’ll run much better. Mine’s still running on phonograph cylinders but doesn’t play right anymore. I want to listen to my music, not the news and ads on the radio. At least 2XG isn’t on the air with Lee de Forest anymore. I swear he only made that station to play ads for his own products. Other than him, I’ll have to listen to some boring old coot talk about what Silent Cal has to say, which is never anything.
