GoodDay, Brian!

For those of us who aren't familiar with pesky Australian insects, what is a
"Mozzie?" I'd also like to know what Joss sticks are, for the record. Thanks!

G'day Milton,

Mozzies??? In Australia and other countries, no doubt they tend to shorten words
therefore,, Mosquito = Mozzie. I'm sure there are Billions of them in US.
Sorry I should have used the correct name.

Joss Stick [from the Australian Macquarie Dictionary]; is a slender stick of
dried fragrant paste, burnt by the Chinese {{ and many others }} as incense.

There are many fragrances, we like the Rose. But the "Mozzies" dont.

It also is a little more than a Mozzie Repellent to us, like candles in a Church
we light one for each friend and members of the family.

Kind regards, Brian C.,

And the Ash is interesting in a Glaze, but it takes some time to collect.
