Dear Folks,

The Chinese made scratches on turtle shells.

The Phoenicians made bird claw scratch in clay.

The Greeks could write left to right than right to left then back etc.- 
boustrophedon- the way they plowed.

The Romans saw text- textera- as weaving.

The Polynesians made maps out of string and stick and stone.

When my father was little he wrote with eagle feathers.

I saw my uncle compose and drop hot lead poems from his linotype machine.

I try to do all of the above at once on my computer.

I know people love to emulate Mr and Mrs Veneering and have everything bran 
new.

I believe that it is as grave a human error to believe that only what is new 
is good as it is to believe that only what is old is good. For an artist 
everything is good.

What is bad is to be dead.

Your Friend,

David
