People back then took care of their posessions... they knew what it was like to 'do without'. There seems to be a different mindset when things became more disposable... when 'good' bread came from the store instead of your oven... when your flowers come from home depot instead of seeds.
Things seem to come too easily so it's too easy to destroy them... snapping antennas off of cars, vandals with spraypaint and eggs...
Suddenly I feel old.
What makes us different? What makes me keep my grass cut and my flowerbeds weeded? What makes me paint my house when my neighbors paint is peeling away?
Suddenly, I feel really old...
Oh well. One more month and I'll be 35... go figure!
