I Don't Think It Can Be Endured

It arrived, and I tried it on. It fits well enough. It resembles the advertisement. Here, judge for yourself:


There is a brief video, under a minute, but it needs more editing. The front is a velcro entry to Harvey, but if you open it, there is no light abatement at all. I'm very disappointed.

I just had an exchange of messages with a vendor because I rated his product (responding to an email request to rate the product) three stars. I interpret three stars as "okay," or good enough but neither great nor awful. He interpreted three stars as an attack on his product that will drive other customers away.

How many stars would I rate the Harvest Burka? I purchased it to evaluate it. It does what the vendor says it does. It was simple to use. Read the description in the first photo, a screen capture of their advertisement/order page. It's a cover, a shade, a curtain, a light shield. It is all of those things. I have a used Harvest on order - I'll probably use it on that one, which has "cosmetic damage." If I rate it, I'm definitely using the phrase "Harvest Burka."

What female name can I derive from "Harvest"? What will I call Harvey and Harvey Too's sister?


Meanwhile, I have been concerned with the operation of the Aerovoirs. I actually got an alarm on Harvey Too for Low Water. To test the system, I added ten drops each of red and blue food coloring to the tanks. I should be able to see the darker (purple!) water through the translucent tubing. If it should turn all my Romaine lettuce purple... I can live with that. Imagine the pictures.
