You’ll never gonna’ believe what I seen down at the hardware last saturday, RayC. Guess what they was sellin’?-Dirt !!! They was sellin’ bags of dirt. I ain’t kiddin’ … they must of been more’n a hundred bags piled up in there. An’ they was people buyin’ ‘em. I ain’r lyin’ … they was buyin dirt !!!
I was disappointed to find that the “local” museum of western art (I don’t live in Indianapolis but I can get to the museum in under an hour so that’s local to me), the Eiteljorg Museum seems not to have any works of William Henry Jackson. It does have works painted by friends of his who used his photographs. And I was reminded that TSA can mean something rather pleasant, the Taos Society of Artists.
@ApersonI used to live in the “woods”. Now I buy dirt and manure, living in a forest of cement, clay and glass. (New Riders reference)My Nationality: Inbred Hillbilly.
The 1948 Allied Radio catalog was a little before my time, but when I wanted a tape recorder for Christmas to tape songs off the radio and TV, my dad brought home an Allied Radio catalog. They also sold components like resistors and capacitors. When I saw all those cool looking parts, I was fascinated. Then I saw an ad for an electronics kit that made all sorts of things, like a proximity detector, a photocell detector, a radio, etc. I had to have it. I burned fingers to a crisp learning to solder, and by the time I was ready for college there was no doubt my major would be Electrical Engineering. I’ve worked in that field ever since, and never regretted that.
Apologies for telling my life story here, but there may be a few who can identify with someone who suddenly discovers what he or she was meant to do.

Well it is important to keep walnettos separated or they may reach critical mass.
