Here's an an article you'll probably agree with. After you read it you can substitute your favorite "tools that have gone bad..." Bill Lutz's article goes a long way in explaining why the trend in quality merchandise and services seems to be heading south. Another good example is plane travel. The airlines treat their passengers like they are a bother instead of like they are customers. However there is always a way for the well healed traveler to make his journey more comfortable. There is the first class cabin, and the airlines private club room at the airport. For the really well healed, perhaps even including Lutz, there is the Lear jet. "Heeled" fercrissakes, "heeled". * --www.ewoodshop.com-Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hey Swing, I don't want to get into a spelling bee, but "heal " looks okay. Lol ... Yeah, but what disease(s) was he healed of? Sorry man, one was OK, but two? .... *just blame it on your spell checker. * http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/well-heeled I don't know the real entymology, but I think that it referred to a shoe heel. A well heeled man did not have the heel wear of a poorer man. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County.
