Some people go to Elderhostel as more like a vacation. We go because we want to learn.

Some people have a specific plan when they start out. I like to put a piece of wood on the lathe and have an idea of what I think I want, but design something as I go along.

Not too many people have tried marbling on wood. You turn the cover, and there is marble paper.

What we've been experimenting with is doing it to woodturnings. That's what I'm into. I turn the pieces, and she does the marbling.

Some day, we'll get up and decide we're going to do it again.

Every one of these municipalities has to make decisions to how much risk they want to take. Most people don't defend against 100-year floods when building drainage networks. It all depends how much risk you're willing to take.
