Speaking of not being able to find quality goods anymore: What's up with
packing tape? I bought a roll
generic cheap stuff at Wal-Mart about a year ago and it was terrible.
Last week I bought the 3M brand and even went for the reinforced kind. It sure
is reinforced all right. It's so tough the blade
can't cut the tape. But that's not all: the adhesive isn't up to the job of
holding a box closed. I taped closed a box last night
with this stuff. By this morning, the adhesive had let go of the box and the
box was hanging open.
I'm lucky I didn't actually ship it yesterday.
So, again: What's up? I learned 6 months ago that the cheap packing tape at
Wal-Mart isn't any good. But now, the 3M stuff isn't
any good either! Do I have to go back to wetting the old-style stuff, like
wallpaper?
ARGGGH! I hate my life except that the Tamron 90mm f/2.5 macro is here. I
can't wait for the M42->EOS ring to come in so I can
make some photos.
All the best,
Lama
