Benjamin Franklin said, "Too many of us are paying too
much for our whistles." A lot of us are paying out' a great
many dollars, a great many hours and a great deal of effort
for worthless gear. A day later, a month later, or even a year,

can put the ugly old table in the junk yard, it may be harder
to get rid of our ugly memories. Let's take care and buy
antiques and not junk for our homes and minds.
