[78-L] It's Tight Like That - packing lessons from R Buckminster Fuller

[David Lennick]

And I just checked what I have..the widths aren't consistent but there may be 
different brands. I have 5.5 inches on a hub with a handle (like a lint roller) 
and 12.5 inches on a wider cardboard core which was left over by the movers. I 
haven't seen the smaller rolls.

If that jelly lid is still under the fridge, kiss it goodbye or welcome some 
new animal life.

Is this where I should throw in my plea for clear packing tape instead of the 
brown opaque stuff? I like knowing where to cut, especially on boxes that have 
a tongue on one side (which of course you cut through because you can't see it 
because of the opaque tape..packages I get from record companies that reuse 
boxes are so overlaid with the stuff I can't even tell where the openings are). 
And if you use a Priority Post box, please don't cover the tear strip. (Where's 
my medal? A whole rant without one exclamation point.)

When we moved I wrapped the kitchen spice rack with it instead of packing all those pesky little jars.  Packed in two minutes, unpacked in 15 seconds.  Wrapped all my spare patch cords with it.
