Born in California
Did the school thing studying electronics, computers, release engineering and literary criticism.
I worked in the high tech world doing software release engineering and am now retired.
Then I got prostate cancer.
Now I am a blogger and work in my wood shop doing scroll saw work and marquetry.
One of my favorite quotes (I used it as a tagline on my blog for a few years). I even have it on a little wooden sign on my wall (hung at a crazy angle, of course).
I’d have been tempted to swipe that mug! (I was always big on mugs as pencil cups at work). The one I used for years and still have says “The greatest oak was once a little nut that held its ground.” I don’t think my employers ever understood its passive-aggressive message.

Sometimes we just need a new bucket! Trying to work with a broken handle is too frustrating!

Oh, no! Time to find a new mug, maybe a train ride would get you a great mug with the train on it.

Years ago, a friend had this on a coffee mug with a purposely broken handle. I’ve always liked this one.

Krazy glue? Or Gorilla Glue? I have a few more solutions if need be.

Let’s try the Krazy glue first. I would be afraid that the gorilla would just smash the handle again…

Same here. It just got old and broke.

It’s a beggar when that happens Andrew. The handles are always the hardest to get.

They are hard to fine and hard to hold onto.

Yup, I suspect there are a lot of broken handles out there.
