i have just finished one of the best books i have ever read.
it sure is in my top five of all time.
if you think you are having a bad day...see how others have
survived.
it is like my thought...children who think they are abused...their
new minivan/suv does not have `two` tv monitors.

i am in the middle of a book:
`color` by victoria finlay
(used on amazon 7 bucks.)
it is the history of paint, color, pigment.
the entire first part of the book is based on
the use of ochre, iron red, yellow, black.
of course mixed with ash and carbon from
charcoal.
the cave drawings of early australia, 40,000 years old.
(dream painting etc...very interesting.) the amazing
danger, iconic secrets of ochre/yellow, red and black.
and of course the use of white china clay...body painting
and cave drawings. amazing stuff.
she claims that the concept of the `red man` or native
indians came from the fact that they painted themselves with
red ochre. it was powerful magic.
well, anyway. most of you would glory in this book.
i sure am.

no cost, we were poor. and, i was born with rickets.
( i am trying to form a `special interest group`...and
am going to seek government funding and therapy.)
`children that suffer mental damage from having
had rickets as a child`. it should be worth $90,000
a year.

Hi Mel -
I could feel myself being drawn in to this book - these stories of color
Traditions, superstitions, dreams....
About ochre - do you mean to say they they are dangerous, or is it a
contextual thing - the early cave drawings.
Thanks.

Hey Mr. Dawg Catcher and Gail,
You know, I have no real problem with coprophagia. The vet has pills
for that. What I really hate is the well known neighborhood dog who
keeps dragging somebody else's trash onto my yard and ripping open the
bags.

Your Minnetonka politics are fine on this list, but other
people's aren't so we can't respond.
Give us a break...

I am taking it easy. ;^) Easy used to be my middle name,
until I changed it to Hussein (which means "Handsome One.") ;^) Mel
has a lame sense of humor at the expense of other people's values.
And he has no understand about the purpose of grants which
his comments, If you have followed in the past at all, are a snipe at
other kinds of grants.
In the middle of my coming back to Japan, I helped one
potter in Japan apply for a McKnight residency at NCC and another
young potter apply for a Jerome Project grant. These awards are
based on merit and are not handouts. But you have to have quality
work, be able to organize your writing and put together a set of
slides to have a chance in the competition and be able to face
rejection.
