    These bamboo skewers are one of the most used items on my HO layout. Great for applying glue. Great for stirring paint in those little bottles. Great for painting people.

    Just came back from an eye doctor's appointment. The building is full of medical offices so patients are coming and going all day, making for a very busy and full parking lot. I allocate an extra 15 minutes travel time for this. While looking for a parking spot, there was a Camaro taking up 2...
