A new winter coat: get it before you need it!

... was the subject of an advertisement email I received from Land's End today.

For a mere $99.95, you could have the latest spiffy white coat! And one that you DON'T even NEED! Now that makes about zero sense ... but how many people succumbed?

Does this make you feel just a little bit uneasy? That our obsession to "keep up with the Jones's" is turning us into irrational human beings, who want things even though we don't even need them. How much longer can Mother Earth tolerate our abusive behavior? It reminds me of a bunch of spoiled kids not showing respect for their parents.

I need a walk ... and time alone with the birds. If we could only molt our own coat each year like they do!
