I posted this photo last year just before classes resumed. I like to wear this button when returning from a break and I had it on Monday — the first day back for students.

It has been harder to find buttons the last few years (since the local head shop and record store both went out of business). A few weeks ago I was in a Walmart (don’t ask) and saw BUTTONS! They were in sets of seven buttons for $1.97. Singe buttons would usually run $1.00 or $1.50 each. I looked over the selection and saw several that I would wear. “Look,” I said, “I found a gold mine.” I ended up buying four sets that include such gems as:

Forever I walk among the ignorant

It’s been lovely — but I have to scream now

Take my advice — I’m not using it

Ever stop to think — and forget to start again?

Never miss a good chance to shut up

Not the brightest crayon in the box now are we?

Never underestimate the stupidity of boys in large groups
