Collected

The other night on Collectors (the show about people who collect things), they interviewed a man who collected hammers. He had four thousand, five hundred hammers, all hanging in his tool shed and neatly catalogued in a special book. So that was nice. Anyway, he said something I found quite interesting. He said he had to keep getting more hammers, because that was what made him a collector; if he stopped adding, then he was a hoarder. Is that true, I wonder? I'm definitely a hoarder, but I somehow keep adding more stuff (not hammers, though. I've got two hammers, which is more than enough to meet my hammering needs).

Speaking of collecting things, I was almost collected by a van that ignored the stop sign on the corner when I was crossing the road on my way to the shop this morning. I had to jump back off the road in a hurry when I saw it coming. So in retaliation, I won't be doing any business with "Neil Primmer, Pool Plumber", no matter how pleasingly alliterative the sign on the side of his van is.
