Let's see...  How do you capture interest in coats?.  I think it's the maker, or the famous person wearing it.  But those things don't interest me too much.

I'm here to write about a wool coat.  It's a coat that has a long manufacturing history filled with life, as past lives knew it.

I'm wearing the coat.  It's made of wool good sheep gave to sheperds who passed it along to me (hopefully without too many middlemen).  It keeps me warm almost everywhere.  Sometimes I need more insulation beneath it, but not often. 

My severely crippled Brother gave it to me.   I was living in Montana, near the place he chose as home.  He didn't want me to be cold there, so he spent money he didn't have to give me this gift.  It's the best gift I've ever received.  It's not a coat, it's love I sometimes wear through hard times

Like my Brother, I'm tired now.  It's time to sleep where we sometimes dream of a better world.  We can make it

    What the fuck! Sure, I understand Brink must generate advertising cash. Sure, I understand that companies must be known to sell what it is they will.

    But the coat I'm wearing was probably made by people who can't afford to buy one in America. That's not a good thing.

    If you want me to admire what it is you make, or sell, let me know you're good people who treat people well. Everywhere I can, I ask workers about the people they work for. If everyone wins, I spend my money freely. I'm pretty sure your pastor will not say, "fuck them out of every nickel so you can give it to us."

    Make the world a better place and I will make your bottom line better

    "Brace yourself my dear" You've been sleeping, dreaming of another world. I'm sorry they couldn't sell you this one. But I sold you me, so you're still a fool.

    Lead your charmed life. Enough to eat, a place to sleep, a warm coat... it's too much to ask for.

    Well, I suppose, with a name like Succubus, you're not to be considered the nicest sort. I apologize for being born.

    I always thought you to be some kind of benevolent demon. Why would you turn on me? Oh yeah, you're a demon.
