iCar!

[lady_kishiria]

We now have an iCar. Since Steve left a pair of jeans and some of my work shirts in Orange County last week, I thought it might be more economical to go up there and fetch then than to buy more. I also thought it'd be good to hit the swap meet for socks.

We came out with an iPod hookup for the car for $25. Steve later said he felt guilty about buying a Chinese knockoff made no doubt by slave labour. I said that even the legitimate one you could buy at Wal-Mart would be slave-made, but this was money that went into the pocket of an independent family business and was thus a kick in Wal-Mart's balls--at a savings of $75-95 dollars to us. Everybody wins!

Now, if I could only know if my American-made socks weren't produced by slave labour in the Marianas.

No Sweat are great. You can get their stuff in a few (smaller) shops here. Their sneakers are also vegan, I believe. Double friendly! =)

Wow, their hightops are the same price as Converse! OTOH the sock prices are outrageous.

You think so? Most of them seem pretty reasonable to me.

I just bought 4 pairs of socks for $5.00 at the swap meet, and would pay only a little more at the PX. $5.00 for one pair of socks is insane.

I guess socks are more expensive here, then. I might pay $8 just for one pair of socks for my husband.

You forget, this is Southern California, where we expect our socks to be lined in gold.

An iCar! Shiny.

Now if only I didn't have to use my radio transmitter for Klahamatic (what I named my iPod)...

Stuff feels better when it's made by slaves, kind of like how meat tastes better if the animal suffered excruciatingly prior to its rendering. ^_-

Hence the popularity of McDonald's.
