the benefits of downsizing

One main benefit often touted is easier maintenance, and I have noticed that my showers are a bit shorter now; there's just less equipment to wash.

Also, I live in a wooded area, so ticks and chiggers are less attracted now to that area of my anatomy, since there is less surface area to burrow into and fewer nooks and crannies.

More benefits: When mounting an unfamiliar bicycle with a small seat, or wearing pants that are (or used to be) too tight, there is less fidgeting and adjusting that sack that used to house my golf-ball-sized orbs. Now they are marble-sized ("personal" sized). Or moth-ball sized, though I have a feeling that the area has been permanently mothballed.

And who says that ADT brings few benefits!
