Picture packing made simpler
Underblog: gets a GOLD STAR for finding the picture packing corners in the attic. I had to think about it for a few minutes - is finding a box of styrofoam corners really gold star-worthy? Was it accidental or on purpose that he came across them? Is accidentally coming across something an act worthy of praise? Of course it is, one must recognize and seize an opportunity. Finding the Mona Lisa in the desert isn't noteworthy if you have no idea who Leonardo Da Vinci was or that his painting causes a stir. You could just as easily line it up on the fence with rusty tin cans for target practice. My life as a picture packer was just made a whole lot easier and our pictures a whole lot safer. Thanks Underblog!
