Never enough. And never enough ravers. But there's that thin layer of collateral damage, the one in 37 decent people on playa.

Actually, I love crustiness, I love some sort of accurate sense of priorities and I love thinking things through. (2 and 3 may be related.) So I don't know where to stand here.

"How many hippies have you poisoned with all that paint?"

Is it even possible to poison hippies with paint. I imagine with the amount of chemicals most of them have injested in their lifetime that trying to kill them of with poison is like trying to kill a cockroach.

Go over to the bar thread. A Pago Pago Octopus is a Fishy's favorite drink.

This thread can help you find some of the past highlights.

If you want to read the whole thing through, yes a daunting undertask. I'd suggest using bookmarks and spreading it over a period of time. But if you just walk in and start hanging out, we will treat you nice. I swear.

I pop in there and check it out every now and then..maybe I will have to actually post something. I have been trying to read through a lot of the old threads but after a while my brain starts to ooze.

Yah, what Bob said.
Whitewash is fine. It's a quantity issue really. Feel free to get as hippy, or not, as you feel comfortable with. Imagine that it is burning in your back yard, is a good rule of thumb I use.
See you at the burn platform.

OK. Received the samples from the manufacturer and and the stuff spreads and covers well. Did a burn test on it while wet. Grin and I used our personal built-in spectrographs (noses) and we didn't fall down. Just smells like the clay base. I'll hold my breath now as I check out the prices.

This and the solar power we are hoping to again contract for is a hilarious romp to the hippie side for us. Zsu Zsu sits on her new pivot mechanism and clucks her lovely tongue in disgust: "Stupeed Heepies".

Any manufacturer should have info on disposal.
Make sure you ask for info on dried paint and not wet.
Higher heat usually destroys more of the material.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.
