At a family gathering Saturday night, one of my cousins asked how the pottery
was coming along. I happened to have some photos with me of my latest raku
firing. Two of my aunts sitting at the table asked quite a few questions and
I thought my explanation although simplified, was clear enough. I even
spelled the word raku twice, explaining the Japanese roots briefly. After my
two minute question and answer period, Aunt Pat turned to Aunt Norie and
said, "Nice looking pots. But I still don't get what you need the RACOONS
for." Oh, I love my family!! Toni Smith in steamy, muggy Ohio

Had almost the same thing happen just last Friday. Was supposed to Raku on
Saturday but the person I Raku with (and who owns the kiln) was concerned
about burning ban, burning the world down, etc. So, I called local Fire
Chief. No burning ban. I explained what I was doing, etc. and he says,
"What kind of racoons are you burning?"

I am still laughing soooo hard I can hardly see..... time for a
demonstrable education lesson.... We could have our raku session At the
firehouse (even volunteer firehouses don't mind sometimes....) and win
their support & interest and educate them as well....
