OT: Trash or Treasure

Posted by James Howell on July 02, 2009 at 15:31:55 from (71.158.166.188):

This Saturday all of us will celebrate July 4th one way or another.

Our celebration will probably involve displaying our flag.

This reminded me of an event that I"d like to share with y"all.

Last September, Nancy and I were in WalMart getting a prescription filled.

While standing in line to submit the prescription, we both noticed an American flag in the trash can behind the counter.

We asked the pharmacy tech about the flag and she stated that it was part of a promotional display that had expired.

Since it was no longer needed for the display, it was just thrown away.

When we asked if we could "have" the flag, you would have thought Bonnie and Clyde reincarnated were standing at the counter.

A lot of strange looks from several people and disbelief on the faces of others.

Good news is that we "recycled" the flag for another day.

Displayed it in the back window behind the seat of my truck starting that day for several months.

I treasure that flag and now it has been waving proudly at the foot of my dad"s grave since Memorial Day; best spot in the world for it.

Yeah I know, it"s just a piece of brightly colored cloth stapled to a wooden stick with a gold painted point on the end.

As an object, it was trash to some folks, but a treasure to Nancy and me.

However we choose to display our flags on Saturday, let"s treasure what it represents to all of us.

Hope y"all have a good July 4th celebration and please be safe.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
