The Backward Life

“The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.” —Philip Roth


I saw a lot of camo on campus today. Granted, the various ROTCs were holding drills, but aside from the more legit camo I witnessed several atrocities.
Ladies, it does not look fetching to wear oak-leaf camo coats as casual wear. Everyone can see you, especially on a campus where none of the trees have foliage.
Anyone who knows me knows I love purses. While I have tried to scale down my inventory lately, I was very tempted to buy the purse I found yesterday at Spence Hardware and Supply. I know, right? Who would have thought you could buy a purse like this in the same place you can purchase barbed wire and chicken feed?



I got to thinking about the implications of this bag in North Idaho, where I often spy women wearing their camo jackets as everyday wear. Would you be carrying this purse and then go, 'Wait, where is my purse?' because it blends into your outerwear? The only thing that you would see is the amazing bejeweled cross. Speaking of the cross, was Jesus a hunter, or was he just into fish?
