Under the Wire

Sooner or later every fad gets me. I can't help it. I resist longer than most but eventually I succumb.

Over the years I've been talked into purchasing polyester leisure suits, tennis shoes with built in air pumps and stone-washed jeans. Some fad items stuck with me like poly-grass ropes and nylon horse halters. Other items the world convinced me I couldn't live without now lay gathering dust somewhere. Remember CB radios (replaced by cell phones), fuzz busters (replaced by 75 mile per hour speed limits) and beanie Babies (replaced by good sense)?

My latest venture into fad-madness? I hate to...
