Garbage is Garbage…Sometimes

Most would agree that minimizing air pollution is a good thing and in the San Francisco Bay are, where we used to live, Spare the Air Day is a big deal. But not many people realize the need for that same type of attention toward other aspects of life, that rhyme with air, and that why I’m involved with Chuckle Control.


People expect things to perform as they desire and often react negatively toward a piece of furniture or an appliance that doesn’t meet their standards. Perhaps that’s why I became upset when the seat I was using on our outdoor patio wobbled and suddenly collapsed, sending me to the ground.

It was my intention to haul that piece of trash out to the garbage but my wife, realizing what I was planning on doing, gently got my attention. “Honey,” she said, “We can’t throw that away. We need to have it repaired and continue using it for seating…it’s a Spare the Chair Day.”
