I agree the your statement with Bjarne.

Oh, yes! It was around 1967. And, of course, I was warned to

The whole modern wearable art movement is an outgrowth of DIY hippie
crafts. I'm hoping to see the DIY aspects, the loving-hands-at-home

The people who live in the fault line of California know the Big One will
happen one day.
Next year is the 100th anniversary of the last Big One that happened in
Northern California, the San Francisco Earthquake. About half of the city

Hi folks... I'm sorry to see that Bjarne is being insensitive again.
I did not see what he wrote, and I have no desire to - I made a
