>> I LIKE that description! In the beginning practice wearing gloves and
picking up bricks, old bisque and smooth cobbles of various sizes with
the tongs before you even light the kiln. In time you will gain
confidence and skill in picking up just about anything quickly with
tongs - maybe even tie your shoelaces! <<

Linda Riggs tells me that Charlie can do this, photos by JD to follow in
Pottery Making Illustrated. (actually "Shoelace Tying Illustrated" is
also bidding for the article.

Steve and Wally are still trying to figure it out.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."

U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore Roosevelt.
