 I would like to encourage everyone I know to not participate in the black
friday madness this year but instead, take that Friday and repair something
you already own. I know your Vanagon will love you for it. These days,
repair is rebellion. Owning a Vanagon is rebellion. What's not to like?
Weld. Sew. Join. Glue. Patch. Replace. Paint.  Just make something you
already love last longer.
