loyal opposition

Thinking, this week:
as maintenance men enjoy tools,
I enjoy pens and paper.
Had two inexpensive (cheap) pens purchased at WalMart; "gel" pens -- leaked and made a mess, first time writing, BOTH of them. So -- not so inexpensive, as I purchased them & couldn't use them at all.

A man at work said, As much as you write, you should buy better pens, the kind where you can get re-fills.
I have a couple of (or no, three) good pens. One has re-fills, and I like using it. The other two have no re-fills. Felt the re-fills were "expensive": trying not to purchase Anything.
But maybe re-fills are not expensive if you can write with the pen, unlike the "bargain" pens which are no good for writing -- (maybe could still use bargain pens as cat toys: Chess likes to get up on a chair & reach to a pen lying on the table, or desk, and swiftly, suddenly, whack-whack-tap with his long, dexterous, cloud-gray paw, hitting the pen to move it a little, a little, a little, on the desk, then -- whoof!-PLOP, pen falls to the floor.
Cat - 1.
Pen - 0.)

Was also thinking, this week -- that when media pundits and politicians tantrum against a topic, or person, the more I will be in favor of that topic, or person.
Moratorium on bullying.
Moratorium on negativity.
Perhaps General Moratorium.
