from ebay (again):
"Chrome plated trepanning tool. A chrome plated trepanning tool stamped PILLING PHILA, 4 1/2" long, in excellent clean condition. You need this like you need a hole in the head!"
that made me laugh for a while.
my life seems to undulate in and out of focus. i think i'm coming back upon my "in focus" state. i'm still squinting, but it's getting better.
