Sometime the Ordinary Can Be Remarkable

I have an old sewing machine. It is in excellent shape and I have all the orignal acessories that came with it - including the receipt from Eaton's, dated 1964 (the machine is older than I am). Last night, while repairing a pair of pants the light bulb that illuminates the needle burnt out. An ordinary event.

What makes it extraordinary is I went into the accessories kit and pulled out the spare bulb that came with the machine. That means that the bulb that was in the machine operated for 41 years before finally burning out. Other than needles, this is the first thing on this machine that has needed replacing.

If you don't like the way I ride

Then stay off the sidewalk.
