  Everyone needs a fan or two, and I finally found mine! It's by Doyushu, and it's likely one of the strangest models I've come across. I saw it on Ebay one day, and I had to have it! Why? I ask myself that a lot, but it's just different. A guy who had grown up in Japan has told me it's an exact copy (albeit smaller) of a Toshiba fan his family had when he was a kid, so I'd guess it's accurate. It is battery powered and the fan actually runs! It gives off a slight breeze, and if I lived where it got hot, it would be an asset. 

  I entered it in the local contest, but neglected to have them create an "Household Appliances" category before the show. I'd have gotten a gold medel for sure then, but alas, I did not. Oh well, at least I kept my cool...
