The wife and I go to the Hobo Railroad yesterday. https://www.hoborr.com/
In the gift shop they have all kinds of cute little bears and moose and engineers and puzzles and train sets and on and on.
All the gifts were themed towards NH and the railroads.
Again,stuffed bears,trainsets,wooden moose and maple leafs, engineer hats,baby cloths and bibs with pictures of trains printed on them,ect
Thing is...I could NOT find one item that was made in USA. NOT A ONE!!!!!!!!!!
Now the thing that gets me..theses gifts are special ordered/made because of the insignias/names/pictures ect stitched or printed on them.
So, why is this?
Has it gotten so bad that you cant get a stuffed bear or a toy trainset or even a little stick pin of a maple leaf made in USA?
Anywhoo, despite that I was a little P.Oed about it, we did take the train ride and it was fun.
And I guess, in this case, it was good for me cuz I refused to buy a thing from the gift shop and it saved me some coin.
So there you have me rant for today. I like sharing...ha ha ha ha ha ha
