Foreign Perspectives

Guys are always wanting new toys, aren’t they?

When they’re little they find them in toy shops of course but when they grow up they can’t really be seen to buying their “toys” in the toy shop, can they? Although…. some of the stuff kids get these days is pretty neat.

For big guys it’s usually a toss up between some electronic type gadget (computer, camera, etc.) or tools. To be fair, some of the tools are actually used for serious work but I wonder sometimes when I see someone head out of the DIY store with some new air tools whether or not he (it’s always “he”) 1) really knows how to use the gear that’s being bought and 2) whether it’s being bought because that’s the tool that’s actually needed or if a somewhat less beefy version would be able to do the job equally well.

Still, it does keep us out of trouble, doesn’t it?
