"...and you want to build a kiln."

Mel, Mel, Mel, -- you were doing just great, but you went too far!!! You
just should have stopped after "try to think back when you were twenty...be
alone, no tools...no welder. (That's where you should have stopped.) You
really shouldn't have gone on to say "or be a woman...a woman alone....".
Jeez!

I (woman alone) just finished building (alone) a great woodburning kiln (I
souped-up the Olsen Fastfire design...alone...) that I also fire (alone)
quite often.

Even more shocking, I (woman alone) have been hired to build kilns for
other people...

Those "XX" chromosomes don't seem to get in the way at all!!!
