Creating something tangible beats sitting around the truck stop 'talking about who has a bigger radio,' he said. He's finished a scarf and socks, and is working on a sweater for his wife. 'The fact that you can take strands of thread and basically make something out of it, that's awesome I think,' he said. 'It's pretty cool stuff, man.'" [WSJ]
