It consists of either nineteen or twenty-one precepts; precepts 4 and 20 are omitted from the former version.

Everybody is Going Green This is going to be my attempt to go green. I will probably order one of those "purdy" barrels and install a gutter diverter.

handwriting tips You’ve decided you want to improve your handwriting and you’re probably hoping a fountain pen will do the trick -- maybe a friend told you it would. Maybe you’re just adventurous and you want to try your hand at calligraphy (or you might, once your handwriting improves). Good for you! A fountain pen may make your writing look a bit better, but if your writing looks as if frenzied chickens got loose on the page, chances are this won’t be enough. Most likely, you’ll need to retrain your arm and hand.
