how much stuff does one need...


I decided to take an accounting of my clothes situation.


  • socks 14
  • unmentionables 12
  • pants 9
  • shirts short sleeve polo 6
  • hawaii shirts 7
  • shirts long sleeve 4
  • shirts long sleeve button 10
  • long sleeve button down 4
  • t-shirts 30
  • sweat pants 2
outerwear:
  • fleece 7
  • sweater 3
  • coats 9 (3 rain)
  • hats 10


a few observations:

  1. does one need 30 t-shirts? , obviously not, but t-shirts all have memories. 4 cancer shirts (2 breast,2 children), 4 dragon boat , 3 university of Florida, 3 from Clemson days ,
  2. Will i need 7 hawaii shirts in Ireland? the high temp last year was 72
  3. 10 hats? only really wear 3 so that will be trimmed up

Well we might just have a house ready when we get there. Reasonably close to town,schools and railroad.
Fridge appears to be american size not typical European dorm fridge size.
