WHAT Has Made You Smile Today? (II)

Watching the sunset and admiring my ability to admire it. The universe is an odd beastie but fun to watch it run while realising that watching it run is odd in itself.

The kits became the subject of national attention in the wake of a Free Beacon report in February indicating that a $30 million harm-reduction program was set to fund the distribution of free crack pipes in “safe-smoking kits.” Pressed on the matter in a Feb. 9 press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki issued a full-throated denial.

You have got to be shitting me…

I live in a pretty redneck town and people think I’m racist because I find racism funny (think Chappelle) I’ve just been around it my whole life and although I’m not fully caucasian, I had always lived and worked with people who were overtly racist and paid no mind. I guess it just didn’t bother me. I was out waiting for a delivery today and the young South Somalian guy in my building was fixing a flat tire, I offered a hand instructing and down the road were two white guys at the neighbouring building working on their lifted truck. Well they yelled something, we couldn’t make it out and heard laughing, so I naturally assumed they were being racist and calling stuff out and he mumbled something under his breath like it was. Well I was looking at my phone and the fellow had his tire off and one of the guys across the way came over. He said, “Hey man, I see you’re having a shit day like me, I’ve got a compressor and tire patch kit if it’s just a screw I’ll grab and head over to help you out.”

They talked a bit, the Somali thanked the other for the offer and the white feller walked off… I was kinda shocked because in previous experiences it would’ve been negative and depending on my relation with the two, probably funny honestly, but these were two strangers and one was helping another. I was smiling pretty good at that point, as the dude was walking away smiling all I could say was, “Hey man, thanks for being a good dude” and he left off with, “Not a problem man”

Delivery came short after and I’ve just been thinking back about that.

A good knife is something to appreciate. Thanks for posting this. I have a couple of fine Japanese kitchen knives and one very special knife that was given to me as a retirement present. My old boss’ dad is a well respected knife maker in the Rocky Mountain region. My boss crafted the design of the I loved the knife when I first got it. He wrote the steel type, number of layers, etc. It is a work of art and VERY practical. I researched him after receiving it and realized what a tremendous gift and learned how much work and craftmanship went into it. My boss did the design and his father crafted it into a work of art. It is my favorite knife and I use it, and take very good care of it. I was shocked to find out that his knives sell for between $300 and about $900. I took it in to our carbon knife store in Denver to get it sharpened about a month ago. When I got it back, they included a note that said, “You have a very special knife. It was a joy to sharpen it.”

They aren’t top of the line but they are nice.
I have around 6 different styles and they have served me very well. Don’t have to sharpen that often. Just hit them on the steel after using and you’re good to go. I have the German steel models but they also have Japanese and Australian steel models also

Well thus far, looks like an interesting company. Made in China, but seems like far more consistently so. Interesting differences between different series.
