Bad Boomer's Place

I have always worn a lot of T-shirts, mostly those with some kind of logo or design.  They seem to last a long time.  I am still wearing T-shirts that I have had for years.  I have T-shirts that represent places I have visited, places I have worked, clubs and organizations I belong to, and just randomly chosen T-shirts in near-by stores.  I have an entire collection that I used to wear under my shirt when I was working.  This collection does not have any design or logo T-shirts, but there are many different colors.

But, T-shirts in my possession have a complete 2^nd life.  After they become too old, worn, or faded, they go into my rag box.  Their 2^nd life is for cleaning, for wiping, and for wrapping around my head to soak up the sweat when I am working in the yard.  So, these T-shirts have an even longer life than expected.  They have a long life as a garment, and a long 2^nd life as a rag.  I sure get my money’s worth!

When I pull one of these rag T-shirts out of the rag box to wrap around my head, or to use as a a cleaning cloth, often I will notice the design or logo on the shirt.  This brings back the memory of the place where I bought it, the place that I worked, or the club or organization I was a member of.  This is yet another purpose fulfilled by these garments.  In addition to clothing and cleaning rags, they are also holders of memories.  Pretty good for the lowly T-Shirt!
