Goodbye to an old friend

I finally had to bid adieu to an old friend in the Badlands.

I've used this old polyester-woven chair at sporting events and other gatherings for years.  This was a rare creature amongst the newly-fashioned chairs with their compact features, drink holders, and foot rests.  It always got a laugh with friends and strangers alike.

While I had threatened to reweave and extend the life of this relic, the stark truth is I couldn't locate a Roses, Kresge's, Zayre's , or Ben Franklin 5 & 10 on the trip.  The Jockey Lot (Anderson, SC) is likely the only place on earth with a reservoir of NOS (new old stock) repair kits.

Last sit as dry rot claims another victim.

I decided to give it a proper burial in the Badlands, by stripping the fabric and recycling the aluminum.
