I'm not much into golf. If I want to get drunk with friends, I'll do it in a bar where it's not so damn hot. As far as hobbies and pastimes go - collecting vintage stuff has been my bag for several years now. It's cheaper than golfing, and I actually feel like I'm contributing to society a tiny bit.
How so? Call me crazy, but I foresee a day when books like Planning & Remodeling Kitchens (1976) are gone. Sure there's thousands like this at flea markets across the country, but how long are these tattered and faded books going to be around? They have value - they are time capsules. I don't think there'll be a need to preserve the 2000s because there's simply so much digitized out there, it'll never be in danger of being lost. However, images of kitchens from 1976 aren't always easy to come by unless someone's taken the time to scan an old publication or photograph.
