I used to have quite a library in my old house. Thousands of book I'd read

When we moved to a bigger house my wife indiscimantly donated about 2/3s of

I'll bet you don't even remember what was tossed out. When we all finally
keel-over, the people from the next generation not only have to come in
and conduct the funerals, but they also have to unfortunately invite
themselves over and brave the many fire hazards there and try to clean
out the house/trailers/sheds of all those tonnes and tonnes of junk, er
... "projects". Sometimes, that could cost precious time to them in
their own lives.


I'd say to heck with being a pack-rat and collecting junk.



All? No probably not, but dozens of times I've gone looking for a
particular book that I used to have... Its gotten so I often don't even
look anymore. I just buy a new one.
