Everyone got to choose one activity they\u2019d really like to do in the hills of Kentucky. As a lark, one chose Paintball, daring the rest of us to join her. Several protested that they didn\u2019t bring clothes that they could afford to mess up or suitable shoes (Those living outside the USA had primarily packed for two weddings.) \u201cNo problem!\u201d the Paintball aficionado proclaimed, &#8220;I see a Thrift Shop. We can just pick up gaudy, cheap stuff there, wear it once, and then get rid of it.&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Days-190-196-Paintball-clothes-001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1011\" title=\"Days 190-196 - Paintball clothes 001\" src=\"http:\/\/www.susanvogt.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/Days-190-196-Paintball-clothes-001-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Well, it was a vacation, and she was persistent, so we did it. Although we looked pretty hard core, I have to admit, it was fun and no one got seriously hurt \u2013 just a few stings. Although it doesn\u2019t seem quite right to buy stuff that we thought was ugly and we\u2019d never wear again, then wash it and give it away, still it\u2019s a family story that I\u2019m sure will be retold for many years. I\u2019m happy to give away the clothes.
