Felix’s old man, he’s good with a knife. Yeah, he always was. He could make, or cut most anything or anybody with a knife. He was good with that knife. Yeah, everybody knew about Felix’s old man and his knife— Uh Huh. Once on a visit, Felix and his old man went for a walk in the woods. They weren’t afraid of bears, because the old man was big, and there weren’t any bears there anyway. They came upon a little stream. Felix’s old man cut some narrow boards into paddles. He found an old coat hanger, twisted it around the sticks, and made a water wheel. They placed it on some rocks, and let the water turn it. It worked great. Felix’s old man was good with a knife. The old man left. A big rain came along, and flooded the stream. It washed the water wheel away. Bobby |

and thus, the saga continues! a most interesting 'direct' style! [something that I, for one, am decidedly not capable of!] on-going applause!! |

this is conversational and a very neat of getting the image across. a good commitee can decimate communication. |
