Memory for Nothing!

I took the over-sized jackknife off my key chain. I had carried it around for years and years. I found it very convenient on lots of occasions, but it was simply too heavy. In fact, I think I've worn out the ignition switch on my truck from having the heavy metal swinging to and fro. Or, it might be wear and tear as the truck is over nineteen years old! ... whatever... I am in search of a smaller knife to carry around in its place.

I had an ideal one but I think I had to leave it at airport security once. Really? If broken, the jagged edges of an on-board beer bottle would have posed more of a threat. I miss that knife a lot as my father gave it to me. I don't really remember buying the one I just removed today.


I was able to make room for this cute USB flash memory. I guess it's about time I carry around 32GB of space everywhere I go. It'll be convenient for shuffling movies to friends. Who knows when it might be convenient to have a little extra file space? I saw this cute metal one for sale for CA$12 on my computer store's website. It feels rugged enough to live for an extended period of time rubbing up against my keys and the change in my pocket.

Alas, memory is very cheap and continues to get ever so. Four years ago I was pretty happy to pay this much for 8GB SD cards. Yet back in 2008, I was more excited to note $68 for half as much flash memory as I bought today. Oh my!
