Today we took Kenny to an art exhibit that featured a DIY area for playing with some bits and pieces of beach junk.

We made an outrigger canoe, of course. Kenny selected the mast, I made the frame, and Mari made the sail. Kenny then added the green bit of beach glass.

The finished product. Photographed with an actual camera, I might add.

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.

—Karl Marx
