About Me

Right now I am obsessed with elephant poop... seriously. Let me justify:"I hope to examine herbivore manure, in particular elephant, and the influences it will create in a reduction environment following a raku firing; with a high percentage of dry matter, nitrogen, and potash it should serve as an optimum combustible."Honestly people, this is all I think about. Let me know if you know anything about it. Or if you ever want to hear stories about exactly how huge a pile you can get from gathering all the animal poop in an entire zoo, just let me know, I've seen and witnessed and am soon to experience. I know, lucky me.

Maybe it is just me and my gentle soul kid friendly outlook on life, but when you are out with your kids you should take your headphones off.  The first time I saw this I thought, "Maybe they jus...
