Belts Finally Real Belts

If you didn't know it you do now: I love these fucking Belts! There I said it and it's out there in the webiverse so I absolutely cannot take it back even though I have some of that invisible spray stuff. I didn't know that I loved belts I hardly even thought about them- wait I didn't think about them. One thing always bothered me though... I could never find a good one. When I became a friend of critters at the tender age of fifteen I started to notice how gross leather was then slowly but surely I noticed how alternatives to leather always fell apart right after buying them. Then I became a vegan after becoming just a little informed on the topic and at the same time mistakenly discovered this material.

On my bike rides out on the Columbia Slough is a factory hidden in the woods that makes conveyor belts. They throw away this material and being the avid dumpster diver that I am I had to check it out. Holy fuck this stuff is the best belt material in the world ever! I'm not a belt maker, I'm a college teacher, er, so I thought. More and more people ask for these belts. The Let Live Conference was entirely devoted to "Finding your activist voice, what do you do..." for the whole year. I felt a responsibility to present these to the world as best I can without stooping to slave labour or nasty environmental practice- sustainability, strong ethics, and damn lets get the "V" word out there more! People are terrified of the "V" word. I don't know why "Vegan" is so scary for some people but they often react violently to it if you give them half a chance.

I wasn't able to write in here for a long time cause I had to go in the hospital to have a fist sized tumor taken from my head. Oh "by the way" yeah that has been no fun. I was scheduled to open the store October 15th but they had to do the 12 hour surgeries September 15th. Actually my friends went ahead and opened the store for "us" (I was also voiceless for a long time). The two teams of surgeons did a fabulous job reconstructing my face and leg but now we find out they have to redo my upper jaw so I won't be close to standard till next fall.
