What should I do when my construction permit arrives?

The Answer

Take an evening out to pay Homage to the Great Aether God, viz:

Make a burning cup of gold,
consisting of 14 coils of Double-ought wire,
one 6SJ7,
An eight pound Choke,
and a 1927 Carbon Microphone.
Set them all in the middle of a Van de Graaf generator sparkling, sparkling- and intone the following:

O great Aether, vast sea of mhos;
We bespeak your ever modulating waves
Burning, burning black against
The Bright Skies of rectified Universes.

O grave Aether, we sing homage
To Your every Watt and Wart-
To the twin goddesses Nora Blatch, Sybil True. We gesticulate your Dolbears and mini-Hertz, Mega-Hurts and Milla-Harts. O grey Aether, we raise sparks of micro-micro-micro- Farads in eternal crossing of Bars Of Wheatstone Bridges: Reddi Kill-O-Watts Come transmitting tonite, on little cat-whisker feet O great Grey Grackling-crackling Aether: We degauss you forever in our coils Of thought and sleep, forever wireless God of our aetherized patients, lying On Tables of sines, and countersines, And cosines of sparks, and gaps; Aethered gaps of all sparks, O God!
