Change Test post

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

What happens if it doesn't want to change?

How many Frenchman does it take to change a test post?
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

I usually do not change my test posts. Once I find that the test post will hold strongly in the playa wind and will not come out of the ground and will securely hold up my structure, I just leave it there to serve as one of the permanent posts for the rest of the festival.

you have to be careful: with to much "test posting" you may well run across two minor despots who haunt eplaya.......and badger people to "stop posting so much".........

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.
