The Story behind the battery
|
||
| About 10 years ago, 1993, I had forgotten to get a gift for some at Christmas. I felt bad about it. I remembered I had bought some batteries. People always need batteries around Christmas. I wrapped all the batteries and gave them as a gift. On the 9-volt battery I put a note to check your smoke detector battery. It went so well I decided to do this every year. The first year I wrapped up 9-volt batteries and put name tags on them and gave to all the family members. I did this for a year or two. Then I decided to give them out to my friends. Then I stopped putting nametags on them. Then I added co-works to the pool. Now I even hand them out to people I meet. | ||
