Toast

I inherited my avocado green Sears Kenmore toaster in college. It's all I've ever had. All I've ever used. For toast. The light/dark setting is non-functional. I have filled the house with toast smoke more times than I'd like to admit. A handy way to check smoke detector batteries.


Time moves on.
Toaster technology progresses.
Paychecks increase in heft.
Time to upgrade.
Or IS it?
How about a little retrograde, instead?

This little guy is from the 1920s.
In pristine, unused condition.
Why forge ahead, when what is behind is so enchanting?
And toasts bagels so well.
