National Ships in Bottles Day 2022
There are artists and craftsmen with patience and skills which far eclipse my own. These people have the fortitude, endurance, and dexterity to produce fabulous works in the most unlikely of places. |
The owner strikes me as an insufferable ass, much like the clown who owns Whetzell Moters on Augusta Road adjacent to my home.
I won't do business with you if I feel you're totally unsufferable REGARDLESS of how good I think your mechanic is. He is an EXCELLENT mechanic.
But I digress ...
Today is National Ships-in-Bottles Day, It is held each October 4 here in the United States to both celebrate and observe the art of ships in bottles.
The observance began in 2013 and give us pause to appreciate the beautiful craftsmanship of well executed ships in bottles.
This genre originated with sailors on long voyages needing a good diversion during leisure time.
The practice has evolved such that many people now practice this popular skilled art modality internationally.
So if you're so inclined go ahead a build yourself a ship in a bottle and join that illustrious group of artisans.
So even if you have a ship in a bottle sitting there like in the lock shop you should try not to devolve into an insufferable ass if you can !
I know it may be asking too much such as is the case with the owner of Whetzell's Auto Repair.
