It’s funny how many Made in the USA items one can come across simply by sitting at home. If you look around your own, I guarantee you you’ll find at least five to ten in one glance. Last week, within about half an hour, I stumbled upon two great ones while staying at my aunt and uncle’s place in Colorado. First off: the First Pass Auto Dry Blade. I was taking a shower, minding own business, when the phrase “Made in USA” suddenly stared back at me from this bright red and black squeegee. How nice… America makes its own squeegees. It’s about time that we clean up after the messes we make, right? Yes— both in the bathroom and in the world. But that’s another story.
If you need a squeegee, make it an American one.
After having gotten dressed, I curled up on the couch and noticed that the blanket that was keeping me warm had been American made as well. “Crafted with pride in the U.S.A.” by none other than a company called We Love Country, the particular quilt superseded itself by containing images of Colorado within its 100% cotton weave. A Made in America coverlet that sports American icons on its metaphorical sleeves? Perfect for any Locallectual! The well known faces of Doc Holliday, Teddy Roosevelt, and a Ute Chief had been sewn in below Mount Sopris. Thus, while relaxing, I was also able to study up on my history. Believe me, it was awhile before I got off that couch and out the door again.
