Chapter Ten: The Bag Legacy

As it happened, my first bag wore out pretty fast. I really enjoyed it at work where I used it to carry my radio, gaffer tape, an assortment of tools, and of course my palm pilot. Eventually, the strap broke and I was left without a usable bag.

Then Louie bought the beige-and-green bag from Target on clearance for me. I reimbursed him (I think) and began using it for both personal and business use. It was around this time that I found the canvas bags on the “Wall of Bags” at Target, but decided to stay with the bag I had.
My brown bag came back into service after my mom stitched up the strap, but it had to be abandoned in April after the zipper ripped out. Fortunately I had just bought a new bag at a garage sale. It wasn't until later that summer, however, that I would end up buying my current black bag for a dollar from a garage sale in Alma.
