I had one of life’s little victories today when I saw that a nearby store sells wooden clothespins without any plastic packaging. This isn’t that surprising since I am presently living in a place where most people do not have clothes dryers. We only use clothespins in the kitchen and on the clothesline but other people seem to find a lot of weird and wonderful tasks for these pinchy little bits of wood and metal. The strangest purpose that I saw on this list was clipping back spaniel ears to keep them out of the gravy train.
I have occasionally used clothespins to clip cords and stuff to my computer desk but there doesn’t seem to be any need with my present arrangement.
