Red tide, ouch. My son and I camped on North Padre many years back on the <br> ocean side opposite Bird Island basin . We pulled in late at night and by <br> morning our eyes were red and our mucous membranes inflamed and there dead <br> fish everywhere on the beach mostly gaff topsails. We moved over to the

Lee, <br> Could be. Then again it could be 120 with a hot, common and ground. <br> <p>First I would look at the breakers. See if you can find one that gives <br> clues. <br> <p>Second you measure voltage with a voltmeter. These days they are <br> usually part of a multi-meter. <br> <p>If you need instructions on how to use one, you probably need help. I

I have one of these <br> <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.licensedelectrician.com/Store/ID/Solenoid-Voltage-Testers.htm">[link]</a> <br> <p>If I were there I would put one lead on one of the taped wires and one on <br> the other and expect to get 220. <br> Odds are there is 110 in each and the bare is ground.

It just dawned on me looking at the wiring in the garage. I <br> may have 220 out there already: there is an end of the three wire <br> insulated cable coming from the house. Two wires taped and one <br> bare. If I took a photo, could anybody tell? Also, how could I <br> test to be sure? <br> <p>Thanks,

Lee: I think you are right on both. The form was done in both stoneware and porcelain in Sung China &amp; Yi Dyanasty Korea. These two pottery cultures were the favorites of Yanagi, Hamada, Leach, &amp; Kawai who all praised them extensively (especially Leach of Sung, &amp; Yanagi of Yi.) The Mingeikan has examples of similar Korean pots in the permanent collection. Sung pots must have been a great inspiration for Yi potters, and both had great influence on the first generation mingei potters. This continues to trickle down. You are part of a great lineage, but every new work you make is still original. That's the beauty of it.

Maybe I relate to this because we have turned our hillside half acres <br> into an orchard. Every time my wife says to put a tree &quot;there&quot; I dig <br> up a rock... or three. <br> <p>I've done a lot of terracing. <br> <p>Anyone know a pottery use for thoroughly weathered serpentine?

Wes, <br> <p>Thanks for sending that link. I've built a lot of different things out <br> of stone, and can see that Jon is a great stone mason. He loves his <br> material. Wonderful path he is building there. Very inspiring, and <br> makes me want to get the old Chevy fired up and go find a load of rocks. <br> <p>I can recall several places around the hills here where there are old

Thanks Tatsuo! There is an image of this type of pot on the cover of <br> the retrospective that was hosted by the Mingei museum in San Diego. <br> Funny thing is, whenever I think Sensei or his teacher were doing <br> original ideas, I eventually come across the original inspiration, <br> usually from China or Korean. I have seen this form done in

Lee: <br> <p>Congratulations on another beautiful piece. Came out really nice. You mentioned that this was a form used by Shimaoka-sensei. I think I recall seeing this form in the National Living Treasure show in Kasama. Was it perhaps glazed in blue? I do think his pieces are a bit more tapered and refined, and of course with more inlay work throughout the body But, considering the Jomon roots of rope-impressed inlay; I think your piece has a more robust and natural Jomon look!
