[today’s run:\u00a0 Starkville track workout group – 3.5 miles with 8 x 200]<\/p>\n
I’ve decided I like to put things together more than trying to keep them that way.<\/p>\n
I find some project and it involves some glue and duct tape and spit and I get it working and I feel really good about it.<\/p>\n
But then I make the erroneous assumption that is the end of the matter.\u00a0 A month or a day or a year later the tape comes unstuck or the glue dries up and it all comes to a halt.\u00a0 Then I have to excavate whatever pitiful clues I left for myself about what I did and where to look about how it was doing what it did when it worked.<\/p>\n
One wouldn’t think that electronic things “wear out”.\u00a0 But they do.\u00a0 Anything more complicated than a toaster (and a good stout one at that) will be spilling its innards all over the floor long before I am ready to go buy a new one.<\/p>\n
I guess it is a sign of affluence: having so much sketchy stuff that at any one time some substantial percentage of the pile is busted.<\/p>\n
