A lesson and fences

Well, I learned today that if you put a small Revere sauce pan on a very hot electric burner the used to be flat bottom will distort and no longer sit flat on any burner. Re: fences, Hamilton is a city full of them. What is your neighborhood like? There are small ones, short ones, some only a brick high, tall ones, decorative ones, ugly ones, freshly painted ones, mixed brick or stone and wood ones, some token ones, like one that has a post about every fifteen feet and fairly strong wire strung between them at the top and in the middle one, keep out ones around a transformer facility, with barbed wire at the top, sagging ones, new ones, old ones, painted ones, unapinted ones, partial ones, long ones, short ones, pretty ones. Look around. Let me know. It has been very interesting to note that to date we have not heard from anyone in the USA since our April visit. Hmmmm. Wonder what that means. I am planning to go to Auckland toward the end of this month for a one day workshop on a listening program that seems popular here, though controversial elsewhere or at least some places. I have built in a little extra time to see the maratime museum that is there - looks pretty good on paper, and maybe another museum. Hope the weather isn't too bad, but even if it is I'll be inside, won't I. Well take care. Hope to hear from you. Manford

Sounds like an interesting program on listening. Wish it was a more refined skill set for me :)
