Tomorrow, Sat, is the hamfest at TRW and one way to alway spot me is that I
carry a big bucket to haul away my loot. The bottom is filled with empty
static bags, and sometimes I have to laugh a little at myself picking some
board out of a heap and immediately putting it in a static bag. It may have
spent the last few years in a plastic or cardboard box, but now that its
mine, into a static bag.

I am such a static bag fiend, I must have a box with close to 30 lbs of
static bags stashed in it, plus that is just my "recovered" bags. I have
hundreds of new ones that I have purchased.
