I wish I still had it - for it had a certain 'thing' to it - cracked leather, faded metal buckle/lock and many memories.<br /><br />Frater ArborAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2650609952674727820.post-61525538577915074892014-05-30T09:35:04.274+02:002014-05-30T09:35:04.274+02:00Good post Michael.

I can still remember having to list over to one side to counteract the weight on the other. Of course all the books had slick, shiny covers and they always shifted around - it was a constant battle to keep them in one place.<br /><br />Of course, there were all kinds of back-packs available in the old 'Army Navy Store' but I guess we never connected the dots.<br /><br />I do the same as you now. I have a light and sturdy backpack from REI and throw my tablet, phone etc into it for travel. Certainly much more comfortable with 2 straps on the back than one on the shoulder.Bobnoreply@blogger.com
