Bagless Vacuum
I'll bet it has happened to you. It's actually happened to me three times now. You're lounging and relaxing in your home or just sitting down to dinner when the doorbell rings. Naturally you proceed to answer it. After all, it's probably a package or something. But, when you jerk open that door, there he stands. That annoying vacuum cleaner salesman. He probably has some kind of cleaner in his hand or something rather. He offers to do a demonstration on your carpet or clean your living room. If I were you, I wouldn't let him in. Not unless you want to pay between 2 and 3 grand for a bagless vacuum cleaner. I definitely didn't. But, like most folks I entertained his sales pitch. One that he claimed would take all of 40 minutes, but actually took 3 hours, literally. What a mistake.
Maybe you've noticed that bagless vacuum cleaners are all the rage now days. With these you often get to see what you're vacuuming up and you don't have to bother with those nasty bags. Most people love the idea of these features. However, there are reasonable bagless vacuum cleaners and there are ridiculously priced bagless vacuum cleaners. The Kirby line is absurd if you ask me. My mother-in-law purchased one years ago and it broke. There's no way I'm paying 2500 dollars for a vacuum cleaner that's going to bust in the future. That baby better last a lifetime. Personally I went with the Dyson Animal. Surely you've seen plenty of these on TV ads. I've had mine for over a year now, and I certainly don't have any complaints. It pulls up loose dirt, dust and hair from the carpets and floors with ease and you can always see everything you vacuum up. It's funny how quickly the tank fills up, but to me that just means that the bagless vacuum cleaner is doing its job.
In comparison to past vacuum cleaners I've used, I have to say that the Dyson bagless vacuum cleaner is the best so far. I like the way it's lightweight and easy to manage. Emptying the dirt container is also a breeze. It simply pops of and drops the contents in the trash can at the press of a button. Furthermore, these vacuum cleaners have several attachments you can acquire, depending on what you need to clean.
Barbed Wire
Barbed Wire
We take a lot of inventions for granted and never stop to think about how they came about. Barbed wire is a case in point, although I do happen to know that the patent for the barbed wire we are familiar with today, was taken out in the US in 1874. It was very popular amongst the cattle ranchers who wished to have an efficient way of keeping their herd in. Since then, it's been put to use in a multitude of situations.
Anyone who has ever tried to climb over a fence made of barbed wire will testify to the difficulties. The only thing you can really do to overcome it is to cut thru it. All the parks authorities in my neighborhood, when I was a kid, put a roll of the wire along the tops of the park walls. That was to stop us kids breaking in after the park gates were shut. That deterred us, there's nothing worse than a cut from barbed wire. It doesn't just cut thru the skin, it rips it too and it necessitates a tetanus shot.
Nothing says keep out quite like barbed wire. It's a symbol of defense, it's closest buddies being Alsatian dogs and searchlights. It makes you think of prison and military installations. It conjures up an image in a movie for me. The last scene of the original version of World War I film, All Quiet On The Western Front is very moving. The main character, Paul has been wounded in battle and he lies dying in his trench. He sees a pretty butterfly just above him, fluttering on top of the barbed wire. It's just out of reach, Paul stretches for it but falls back. He has died, and the butterfly on the wire is the last thing he sees.
It's possible to just see this modern invention in a negative light. It represents ugliness and protectionism. On the other hand, when you think of its original purpose, barbed wire does keep livestock nice and safe. We don't want cows wandering up and down the highway, after all. It also keeps thieves and vagabonds out of property and keeps them in prison. There is another movie image that springs to mind. In the Great Escape, Steve McQueen is trying to get away on his motor cycle and ends up entangled in barbed wire. It even managed to stop him!
