Some things are made better than other things. Obvious, I know, but then why do we still choose to buy and make things that are poor quality, won’t perform as well as others, and won’t last?

These old boots…Blundstone CSA Greenpatch. Steel toed slip-on wonder boots. They don’t look like much now and are finally in need of replacement. 6 years old. A few years of cement and mud while building foundations. Walks with Lisa and the dog on the beach pretty much every day for the past couple of years in rain and snow. Early morning surf checks. Digging in the garden. Quality. They aren’t cheap, but they are good.
