Yeah you like the snow now, but you'll soon have had your fill.
And we of California will be left with our eternal comfort - deprived of the joy of difference.
Maybe after not too long you'll wish you could cart it all out here for all of us to enjoy (until it melts)?

All true. Your question is a good one worth discussing: is it the stretching of an idea only so large to begin with? Is it laziness? Dunno. I guess that and more depending.

Well you can buy a kit if you want but I've heard that you can't trust the wood in the kits (other people think the kits are fine). Typically the kits come slightly pre-assembled which is good if you don't have much in the way of tools or experience. It is cheaper (and more satisfying I think) to buy the raw parts and do everything yourself (short of casting the metal bits). If you're interested go to www.stewmac.com . They are a luthier supply company and sell everything one would need.

Correct on all points. Although only ~$400 if you make it yourself (assuming one doesn't screw it up).

Good points. There is a machine called a thickness sander. So when one is using it one is 'thickness sanding' although I don't like the name either. True it is 'only' a month, but that month is composed of 'everything' else that must be done for completion of the project. Thank you for the good read.

Although the phrase 'upside down and tigers' is still ranked number one on the horus greatest hits. I honestly think that line is as wonderful as Frost's "Something there is that doesn't like a wall"

Poetry is, at its best, a 'golden section' exposed. You're pretty close to winning a bronzed chambered nautilus for this one.

I like this poem in conjunction with "sitting on a cliff's edge". The fused energy feels similar somehow. Interesting. Like two people watching the same play from different angles.

Good points all. The 'cope' was meant in other ways besides the exact synonym of 'trying to deal', though. Thanks for the read.

Yes, absolutely CA, I just got back from the Lake and (having been there before) was absolutely shocked (horrified)(a little morbidly delighted) to see what I saw.

It's interesting that you would see it as patronizing and racist (I didn't intend it that way). But you're not the only one to think that so there must be something to it.
Have you ever heard of the story about the guy who found a jet engine and strapped it to his El Camino and launched himself into the side of a mesa wall? I used to love telling that story and I always assumed the guy was the same color as I am.
I think this poem is more about how things get started, or to be succint, 'every great idea is ugly in its infancy'. I meant this as such a wide contrast to actually sending someone into space. It is a praise of the taikonauts, not a slam.

I do not know this shoeshiner person, but I find myself in the odd position of agreeing (several times recently). Strange.

Something fierce. And the single rhyme in this - fate/wait - well played, that bit.

How true - catasetums are short and stocky. Strange that I would characterize them as I have. Another apparent inconsistency (and interesting fact) is that catasetums have both male and female flowers, and it is only the male flower that has the ability to rocket its pollen sack (up to eight feet away from the plant!). Why 'Orchidess' then?
