Watches....

Remember Timex? They invented the picture of a watch showing 'ten to two' or 'ten after ten' and they were both cheap and reliable. Everybody had one. Some of us several. Underground miners loved them, because if something broke it, it was easy to replace and didn't cost a week's pay.

Now that I'm too pooped to puff, I don't need a watch - just a calendar. But they're damned inconvenient to pack around.
