The Wonderful World of Plastic

I am a fella that tends to try to suck every ounce of life out the items I have.  I have a lawn mower that is hanging on by a thread with a nasty speed wobble from hitting the city water outlet on more than one occasion.  I have a car with a front bumper held together with scotch tape and zip ties, and a T-shirt worn to rags that I won’t retire because I screen printed it myself in 1994.

Therefore, it isn’t a stretch to assume that I appreciate good quality. I must say, the quality of products these days are an exact reflection of a disposable world drenched in massive consumerism, mediocre to downright poor workmanship, and so on and so on.

After breaking about the 9,000^th plastic widget for my lifetime trying to fix the car the other day, I can honestly say I am completely fed up with the state of society’s attitude.

 

Same old blog, every season.

Well as most people look at the sunshine and disappearing snow with welcome, for me it means the field season is going to start picking up, and that means less time spent at the Kwoon.  I am certainly thankful for the last couple of slow months which have allowed me to put some time in.  I am not a big fan of this on and off approach through the year, but it is something I need to manage.  I keep learning every year and hope to get to the point where this is second nature.

Every year I write the same type of blog this time of season.  I really am not sure if I am adapting any better.  I guess time will tell.
