I had the opportunity to know the lovely Irish gentleman who invented
many kinds of packaging including the damnable blister pack. He was
killed outright when driving back from the east coast with his son --
the son was moving house but he and his father were both killed at a
toll stop on I-94.The son was tired, and fell asleep just before he
plowed into the poor devil paying his toll ahead of him.

Packaging is getting better.

I still keep a box cutter handy when I bring a packaged item home. And
I think of John and his son every time I slice a blister pack open.
