Storage

Location: Arnold Street near Maple Avenue, Kitchener

Description: The back area of pallet company as seen through a fence at night; there are stacks of pallets on the right with the raw components on the left.

Story: Everyone wants more space, whether it's personal space, storage space, or open space. It's a very rare case where someone feels like they have too much space, own too much land, or has a house that's too spartan for their taste. We're overwhelmed by what we have.

But space is finite, at least in two dimensions. We only have so much square acreage on this planet, so we need to build up or dig down to get more. That's a fine solution for storage, but it doesn't work as well for farming as your crops need to get a certain amount of light.

We can get by with less, and that's why today's post is so short. Trust me, there's loads more that I could say, but I'll leave it unsaid. Try getting rid of something today and straighten up a mess; you'll be glad you did.
