“…One of the things you get a sense of [in a good design] is the victory of care. How much did this group of people care to make this — and make it right? And they didn’t do it for themselves; it’s in service to the people who are going to use or buy their product. …the humanity of the thing is extraordinary. …how’s something finished on the inside when you can argue that you’ll never see that. …part of the human condition is that we sense care. Sometimes it’s easier to realize you sense carelessness. We’re surrounded our manufactured environment — so much of it testifies to a complete lack of care. …it’s about your attitude to each other.”

*love* this shot! It really illustrates the progression of heavy industry from fully manual before the industrial revolution to the full automation of today.

Remember when the US government encouraged the growıng of hemp!

Re the caption section about Mustangs- It was a pretty much a futile CANADIAN raid on Dieppe, with British commando, RAF and RN support. A cynical manouevre on the part of the Brits to blood untried troops with lots of finger pointing afterwards.

gimme tha metaaal!
