and all these years I though vases were made by people....

Google is your "frenemy," Cane! Its like a drug dealer, "come on in you'll feel better you'll find what you need, be smarter/prettier/richer etc...." and then...unspecified amount of time warp later, you're an addict!

Like I said, the secret to that search was to use "urn", not "vase".

The way I look at it, the "smarter" they make computers, the harder they are to use. When computers first came out they pretty much did what you told them to do. Now they are always saying "Are you sure you want to do that?", correct your spelling or punctuation even when it is not wrong, or the really sneaky thing is do their own thing without telling you.

I think my old washing machine was smarter than today's computers. You push some buttons and it did what you told it. it didn't ask "Are you sure?" Of course today's washing machines will decide for themselves when they think something is dry unless you watch them pretty closely. I don't see that as an improvement.

I know, that makes me . I'm not ashamed of my gray hair, what I have left.

Cane when I was a kid every house on our block had the tire planter. Think they where always painted white.
