Window
Close to a thousand portraits cut from the Wall Street Journal. And ya gotta love the mosaic frame on that window.
Hummingbird
The Hummingbird Society
FORMULA: 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. The water should not be distilled. The sugar should be white table sugar, not turbinado sugar, brown sugar, or other forms. Use no artificial colors (red dye does NOT help attract hummingbirds) or other additives. Never use honey or artificial sweeteners, for to do so may kill the birds.

Office/Storage Space
Need a lamp? A mold? A poster? A chair? Some salt-fired jugs? A goblet? A, I can't remember *what* this thing is....A basket? A broom? A cosmic casserole? A ratchet set? Have you seen the lighter? A stained glass window-fragment mounted in a plaster triangle? How about a Soviet-era, diesel powered shoe shining machine? Something made out of wire?
Unloading the Annealing Oven
Steb blows 40 tumblers a day, not 30, not 50. He's taking the day's production out of the annealer where the glass rests and cools.

Cat-Man-Do
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Habakkuk 2.2:
And the Lord answered me,
"Write the vision;
make it plain upon tablets,
so that he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its time;
it hastens to the end--it will not lie.
If it seem slow, wait for it;
it will surely come, it will not delay."
Yeah, and screw the Chaldeans, too.
