Cold Weather Juice
Experiments on what works best for me. I will try to test a variety of mixes and post the results here.
Wicks made from Big Game bags
Ed ask me to post some info & picts. reguarding Big Game Bags as a wick material. Game bags are used to protect the meat obtained by hunters until processed. I use the gauze type not the canvas ones. They are also referred to as beef tubes and "modern" cheese cloth. They start out quite elastic & will stretch out quite a bit. After being used to make bubbles they retain their stretched length. Most of these bags are made from a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend. They can be obtained from sporting goods stores as well as local sports departments in places like Fred Meyers, Walmart, & such, mostly during hunting season in the department stores. They are also used for decorating during Halloween and may be found in costume & decorations places dur…
Winter Bubbling
9-29-12----We woke up this morning to the first snow of the year, a bit over an inch. So it seems as though I will soon satisfy my curiosity as to whether I can create giant bubbles during our long, cold, & dry winter.

Whims Of The Wind
Is it just me or does time really go by faster as we age?
As a child and younger man it seemed to take forever for the

were old and my Grandparents ancient. Upon reaching my
50th birthday a couple of years back I reflected upon how
quickly the days had actually gone by and was profoundly
saddened by how short our time here really is. Looking back, events that seemed to have occurred
just a while ago had actually happened years or even decades before. How can this be ? Can our
perspective of time really change that much ?
I recently began making giant soapbubbles as a form of relaxation and enjoyment. Some of
these bubbles are gone in an instant and some last for several minutes. The ones tha…
