"I posted the essay on my Facebook page a few weeks ago. I think it should be required reading in every middle school and/or high school." Instead, they're reading Heather Has Two Mommies.

"Same here.... The simplicity of the pencil was telling when NASA did all the research an funding to support the fisher space pen. Russians brought a pencil. .....economically sound choice. In the service I carried 2 big flat carpenter pencils ... Even now I have one in my pocket. Flat ones don’t roll off the edge of the earth...:o)"

All my life, I've had a "fetish" for cedar pencils. I have packages of them that haven't been opened, stacked in shoeboxes. Every once in a while I go open a box and just enjoy the aroma and the feel of them. The pencil was a major step in technological advancement. I love them.
