Listen to the Spring
So Jeff wanted to make these large, nine-sided cones to use like giant ear trumpets. For listening to things. Here's Kenan cutting parts.
Component assembly.
It took some head scratching to find the best way to put these things together.
With several heads working together, we eventually figured it out.
Opal was relatively unimpressed.
The spectators were supportive.
Cosmo climbs.
Matt looks.
Brenda listens. (Dick took this one.)
Almost finished. (Jeff took this one.)
Jeff tries one out at the soccer field. (Gretchen took this one.)
A pair of listeners. (Dick took this one.)
They are waiting for you up at the soccer field. (Jeff took this one.)
Oh, right, you want to know if they work. Yeah, they work. You might say they create an enhanced acoustical space. You can hear stuff. It's really fun. They also work like megaphones if you feel like shouting.
Come listen to the spring

No bread
My friend Sarah lives right next to the Spruce Pine Ingles. She sent me this picture of the bread aisle last Friday after the snow started.

Jeff and Margot just stopped by for lunch and then headed back out into the storm. Were they really here?
