I'm trying to keep track of how much clothing I buy over the course of a year because I read somewhere that the average American buys somewhere between 53 and 68 new items of clothing per year and that sounds insane to me.

A few years ago, the FBI set off a grenade in their home & smashed the door in. But their suspect wasn't there. Because the FBI had the wrong house.
