Boxes Are Best


When our kids were little we had a book about a baby bear (Jesse), his family and a box. Anyway boxes really are cool. They're great for putting things in, and then you can stack them up and make walls of boxes full of stuff. God help you if you need something out of one of the boxes from the bottom of the wall, but getting stuff out is really of secondary importance. Putting stuff in boxes is the important part. In order to do that, you need boxes. Towards this end I try to save some boxes. Eventually though my cup runneth over and even the best boxes have to go, like this fine example. Beautiful box, well made, beautifully decorated, and it even has rhinestones on the cover. Alas, I had no daggers, or even welding rods in need of storage, so off to the recyclers it went, but not before I took this picture.

Update February 2017 replaced missing picture.

The technician in our lab is a box hoarder. As in, whenever new reagents arrive, she saves all the boxes they came in. As the lab obviously has limited space, the rest of us surreptitiously dispose of the boxes with her none the wiser.
