Hey, Donuel:

The power washer thing is fascinating. Last summer, I tackled a concrete walkway around the above ground pool we have (it came with the house..) Much of the walkway is in the shade and in places it was almost black. A cherry tree also added a nice dark maroon patina to the concrete. I used bleach and a stiff brush first, and then power washed it, an my wife was really excited about how great it looked. She wants me to do the front sidewalk soon. Of course, not everyone is a fine artist. Maybe I could do a ducky and a doggie on ours..

Many years ago I met a wonderful woman at a folk-gospel festival, Kathy Lee Johnson who happens to be blind. Not that it has ever slowed her down. Her life story is so horrible that it would have destroyed a lesser person. After the festival, we kept in touch through a marvelous machine he had that could "read" a typed letter out loud. She ended up meeting a wonderful man who is a minister, a musician, and also happens to be blind. I was very joyful for her, and him... two beautiful people who seem gifted to see better than the "sighted."

Thanks for stopping by..
