Cardboard CD Packaging

Darrell seems to think that this whole weblog is about my rantings. I don’t think I rant all the time, do I? Its just whenever he visits this page, I am probably expressing some strong opinion on something which he misconstrues as ranting.
That being said, let me rant about something for a moment. Cardboard CD packaging. I bought 2 CDs yesterday. Tom Petty’s “The Last DJ” and the Gin Blossoms’ “New Miserable Experience – Deluxe Edition.” Both came in those crappy environmentally-friendly cardboard packaging. I want my CDs in plastic cases, thank you very much. Plastic cases don’t wear out over time. Cardboard degrades. You can’t hope to keep it new looking at all. So more than likely I’ll probably put these CDs in some extra plastic cases I have lying around and make a feeble attempt to save the cardboard cases for posterity later on.
Some friends from church emailed me from Wyoming. Seems they’ve run into Ethan Eades out there in Cody. Ethan had moved there from Scottsville. Small world. But then again I guess all of the church of Christ people know each other through someone. It’s that theory of 7 degrees of separation.
