>> Anyway, for our freezer down in our current house, there's just an ice maker in the freezer section, in the top door, that empties into a big plastic container. All you have to do is reach up into the container and pull out a handful of ice cubes, put 'em into your cup. Easy enough, right? Oho, you ignorant fool... (Not you, that other guy next to you.)

Ah, to live in the House of the Future. Our refrigerator has one of those ice makers, but our vintage 1911 home doesn't have the necessary plumbing in place to hook the water supply up to it. So I still get to make ice the old-fashioned way, by filling those handy-dandy plastic ice cube trays from Rubbermaid with water from the tap.
