"I also have in mind that seemingly wealthy, but terribly impoverished class of all, who have accumulated dross, but know not how to use it, or get rid of it, and thus have forged their own golden or silver fetters.” —Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

A Revelation


I might be white trash.I was in an email dialogue with Mark the Dirt Farmer about when David will be picking up our vegetables this week, and it occurred to me.

House has wheels? Check.
Pit bull on premises? Check. I'm lucky that she lets me live in the house with wheels.
Likes bowling? Check.
Considers participating in roller derby a form of personal development? Check.
Favorite cocktail glass is a mason jar? Yup.
Construction of the chicken coop takes priority over house remodel? Uh huh.
Starts garden seeds in empty toilet paper rolls? Ugh. This is embarrasing.
Ample supply of duct tape? Yeah.
Selects wine based on bottle color? Ugh.
Plans to use wine bottles in remodel project? Uh oh.

yeah , but have you bought wine or beer from the dollar store? or wine from a box?

all of us normal folks who are not afraid of being ourselves are slowly becoming the low minority I think.

Everything you just said sounds reasonable to me, so I'd say we are the normal ones...!

Besides, think of the money we save!

Don't care much for wine so I guess I'm just a redneck? All the other stuff fits though. ;)
