Dome-only decorating

..

Now, I won't comment on how it is that not one, but two different samples of the seat-belts that flight attendants use to show how they are used got into the Dome.

I won't because obviously I have no idea. We'll assume that they were left behind by the previous owner.

While they may seem like a useless keepsake of an un-enjoyed flight, that doesn't mean that they are actually devoid of purpose once they are in the Dome.

There are in fact plenty of uses for them, and most recently they were deployed as part of the window treatment effort. As much as the goal of the window program was to create an ideal environment for the one or two times a year one gets the chance to sleep in, it was also important to have the light come in at other times.

So...the perfect solution, as not only do they keep the curtains out...they can very quickly ("...by releasing the buckle...") can be changed to set the room to "full dark...."

Thank you, USAir, Northwest, Delta, er, I mean, previous owner!!
