There can be no debate about you being a master artist. Anything you do to a picture enhances its beauty.
As far as the political stuff goes; nobody is convinced by a political argument that does not reinforce preconceptions. In fact, since political belief is largely a matter of emotion, logical argument is simply a waste of time. That's why I don't bother with it much any more. I prefer to spend what little time I can get free checking out your historical pictures or your enhancements (Or telling jokes in the Korner, which is what is going on right now. If you have any good ones, give it a shot.)
By the way, my Bean or Split Pea soup CAN be eaten with a fork. If you can't, it's not thick enough.
Having become expert in the use of chopsticks as a matter of necessity, I can say that trying to eat soup with them can lead to self-imposed frustration. Being able to pick up a grain of rice with them does not qualify one to use chopsticks to drink soup unless the chopsticks happen to be hollow like straws (which I've not yet seen).
unless the chopsticks happen to be hollow like straws (which I've not yet seen).
Hmmmm!! I'm not even a salesman and a really good marketing idea just popped into my head. Lets see; 20 billion sets of hollow chopsticks at 35 cents each comes to about 7 billion dollars (a fair sized chunk of change).
The material would need to be very strong to with stand lateral forces . You might have to rethink the market price ... And then there is the problem of how to wash them after meals .
Not a lot more than those bendable straws - it would have to be cheap to become popular in China, but the volume could be huge. I recall seeing straws that are quite stiff, sometimes bent in funny shapes, so I know it's a possibility. It's just that the business end (the end that picks up the food) could not be as wide as those straws are.
I copied and pasted my own work for this discussion
hopefully that is an acceptable tactic.
I'd comment that I'm pretty satisfied with it, but I really don't want to have to move this to Heated Discussions, so
No comment.
Mac, this photo is something that you should be VERY PROUD of! It's amazing!!
Thank you, Nona. That you like it makes me proud.
It's a beautiful photo Mac.
Mac, as you can see, civil debate is a ''bridge to far'' for many.

Beautiful!
BTW, eating soup with a fork just extends the pleasure of the taste of the soup.
Beautiful Pic Mac. Love what you do with your post photography. It is as much art as what you do with your camera.
I understand the feelin brother
Rather create and see enjoyment in others.
You do it well...
Thank you.
NWM
Did you want a discussion on the beauty of the Berkshires, or on how to use a spoon to consume soup?
A Mac
Beautiful picture thanks for sharing
Either/or or both will be acceptable.
Such a gorgeous picture! Thanks for sharing it with us!
A bright spot in an otherwise grim day...
You should try eating soup with chopsticks ... The picture is exquisite .
Thanks Petey.
That would be Egg Drop soup of course mostly drop.

Plastic disposables - somewhat stronger than regular straws to withstand the lateral forces. I expect a percentage for the concept.
What market price do you anticipate for the final product ?
