Do you remember the Times...

...when you have held your head high...? No, I wasn`t going to talk about that song, it only came to my mind from the first line. Do you still know Buffy St.Marie, a singer of the Sixties? Beautiful voice and lyrics. (This song is called "Now that the Buffalo`s gone", she is a Native American).

What I was really going to say is that my camera is broken. Not broken, actually, but simply kaputt! Gone with the wind. The pictures aren`t to be recognized, only pixels appear on the screen.
And I thought to myself, Do you remember the times...
 when you bought a washing machine and knew you could keep it for at least forty years? TV sets, radios, refrigerators, cars, toys, cameras, the whole lot. All were made to last.
But then they (you know, "they") thought, Who the heck is going to buy a new washing machine in two years? How will economy grow this way? And they invented little disorders which would make a facility man come and have a look. And then the nice man would say, Oh I am so sorry, but the repair will cost just as much as a new one! Look, we have new ones to offer!
So this is how it all started. Buy new, throw things out, don`t darn socks! The new things were most often not any better, just new. With more electronics which is so much more vulnerable.
Oh, I wish I still had many of my old things.
Amd my camera would still work!
Does that mean I am getting old and decayed myself?
No, don`t answer that, haha!
Happy Christmas, all of you!
Christmas, after all, is still there.
