I have an old camera, a mechanical one, a gift from my former boss, when I was a teenager. It's a Pentax XP 1000, a heavy and huge thing :) I admit that I do not photograph anymore with it, since I betrayed it with digital photography. But I would not want to miss the washing machine which works fine and is a dinosaur. Things of quality should last, that's what people want to. But one cannot wash oneself and staying dry, so things of quality do have a price. I am sewing my own clothes, so I know it's time and energy which goes into hand craft. I highly admire everyone with handy skills.
Yeah, the tests are a joke - once on digs deeper into the details and the explanations, it turns out that we don't deal with matter but with mathematics, statistics and averages on something which is an abstraction, is, what I think. I am thinking low of any sorts of standards, created by modern medicine. I may be wrong in washing them down the drain but I am tired of hearing about all those things. When we were young, nothing of those kinds bothered us and we were bored to death hearing the elderlies talking about their sicknesses.
I think the other way around: the individual is not average in terms of his specific body and mind. Averages come second, not first.
You too, have a good day. ...oh, How is the harvesting or growing going, by the way? We have a very rainy summer and the cherries in June at my brothers house all rotted. What a bummer.
Greetings, dear Sir :)
The rain tried it's best to ruin our tomatoes, we give them away by the bucket when anyone shows up. We beat the rain.
Only peas did not grow so well and peppers.
But as we have so many fields, in all honesty, never seen so much food in my life.
We auction some for orphans, give most away, it is in my nature, help others if you can.
I can, I do.
Money is not everything, at least to me that is.
We still have apples to pick, walnuts, grapes and many other things, abundance is amazing, especially when you share it for free. :-)
