There is a Michaels and a JoAnn store about 30 miles from here...I'll check 
both places...
I've heard of the plastic bag arts-not for me at this moment in time, but I 
am going to try the rag rug thing.  I've been making strips for a while now.

Have you checked Michaels or whatever flavor of craft store you have? They
carry crochet hooks & knitting needles and the like.

My Great-Grandma used to crochet rugs, bowls, etc. out of plastic bags. They
were colorful, not warm and cozy. She made 'bowls' by using the front
of
cards (birthday, seasonal, etc.) and punching a hole in the side and
connected the cards with the plastic crochet. She also braided room-sized
rugs from scrap material torn into strips.

Have fun with your project.

You know, your cynicism surpasses even my own.   I bow to the superior
cynic.   ;-)

Now, Ray, how long would it take a candidate, or their favorite
lobbyist, or their campaign committee, or any wealthy contributor, to
buy a bit of land or whatever qualified as property under whatever
requirement and get the deed recorded in the candidate's name? A
couple hours? As a retired Realtor, I can tell you that it would be a
fun and profitable buying frenzy. Candidates would have vast holdings
to choose from.

Yet more incentive for those willing to subject themselves to the
process.

I like the presidential selection system the way it is. It is rock-
solid dependable entertainment every four years--grown men and women
providing free reality shows, hugs and kisses to thousands, sincere
expressions of love to millions. It provides a huge temporary
employment and additional income not to mention material for a
substantial number of Americans and others around the world--political
advisors, reporters, columnists, pundits, anchor people, television
station owners, fund raisers, lobbyists--add your favorites. And the
best thing of all, campaigning now starts nearly two years before the
actual election day.

I just don't see how I could get along without it.
