I once seen a cartoon which had a few cavemen sitting around and one caveman was holding a stick whose end was on fire.

The other cavemen were saying things like....

"We've ate raw food for ever, never hurt us."
"No need warmth, real men."
"Our ansestors never needed fire."
"Careful, you'll burn yourself."

Been thinking a awlful lot about that cartoon lately. A man much wiser than I once said, "Sometimes in order to go forward, you must first go backwards."

Sometimes I think I'm the caveman holding the fire. Other times I feel I'm one of the sceptics, all in relation to bonsai, of course.

This year like others, I culled my collection getting rid of bonsai that I thought had a chance last year but knew better this year. I replaced a few tools and started buying better pots.

I also forgot some bad knowledge I had learned and untaught myself other things.
