I really...No kidding? Very cool coincidence there!<br /><br />I really like the idea of mending instead of throwing away like so many people do today. The Japanese also used the textile mending technique called boro (or sashiko for combination mending and embroidery)(I think I have that explained correctly).

If you want to know how to resist this government, the Indivisible Guide is excellent. It was put together by former congressional staffers who saw how the Republicans used the Tea Party and its tactics to successfully obstruct a popular president and friendly congress and turn the people against his agenda. The groups formed from its strategy were mostly responsible for the huge protests that sprang up so quickly in the wake of Trump's inauguration.<br /> If you're interested, you can download it here:<br /><br /> https://www.indivisibleguide.com/<br /><br /> My friend Jack used to make jewelry for a designer in Sausalito, and he taught the designer how to fix flaws in the gold rings with gold dust and superglue.
