April 24, 2018 by

    Baby boomer gets the message. We’ve heard the message all of our lives. It goes like this:   Move over little dog, the big old dog is moving in.   We were once the little dog and moved over for those who knew better. We did what we were told. The idea is […]

A TIME LONG AGO AT A HIGH SCHOOL FAR FAR AWAY

January 27, 2018 by

North Bend Oregon High School, class of 1973. What’s so special?   Like later generations staking their claims to, ‘the first digital generation’ or ‘the first paperless generation’ or ‘the first generation raised on video games,’ the generational niche of 1973 is ‘the first modern generation.’   Born of the roaring ’50’s with TV dinners […]

NEW VACUUM SHOWS DIRT, OLD VACUUMS KEEP IT IN THE BAG

January 23, 2018 by

Old vaccums didn’t show dirt like new vacuum cleaners. They hid it all in a bag.   And that bag filled up tighter than a old feather pillow compressed by years of thrashing sweat and bad dreams.   Some dirt bags even look like pillows, but don’t substitute. You’d end up resting your head on […]

DOWNSIZING DOWNER: I’VE BEEN LIVING IN TRASH AND DIDN’T KNOW IT. ARE YOU?

December 17, 2017 by

  Downsizing Downer Part One:   Storage closet. Hardwood. 3 hinged doors. 5 shelf interior. Curved top. Three-dimensional painted front. Large storage capacity interior in a stylish format. European designed import probably, 1940s 1950s.   In other words, a converted armoire barely hanging together by sub-standard euro-fasteners that evolved into an ‘entertainment center’ then a […]
