WHAT WE WOKE UP TO YESTERDAY: Us, on A Continuous Lean!

We’ve been fans of A Continuous Lean for a long, long time. It was their impressive “American List” that hooked us. Just incredible.

So to tell you that I’m proud as hell to be on their front page is a bit of an understatement. Just, great stuff, all around. From the posts to the recommendations to the gear for sale. Thanks, Michael!

And hell, thanks for all the comments, people! Really warms the heart. That is, until I get down to the one by “Blake,” who took the time out his enlightened, fabulous existence to set the fuckin’ record straight. Tell you what, buddy: Let’s hope yer brand of ‘sophistication’ and my brand of ‘slob’ meet on the street someday, and we’ll get to the bottom of a couple things. Done.

Settle down, truckers!
