Quality is Quality:

Quality is quality! As you know I fix and maintain vintage clocks, its become a small business and hobby. Recently I baught a Waterybury 20s Office clock with a damaged face but was running and a non running clock of the same type with an intact face. Bored I pulled it apart, the seller had attempted to fix it before and used machine oil to lube the wheels (Gears and Cogs). Anyway, it was jammed soild.

The oil did not help nor did the spring being wound so tight it had become kinked. I had buy a replacement; big mistake! I housed the main sping, and fitted the workings back together and begain my tests. I wound the clock up, and ping!

The main spring snapped, and flew at me, slashing my arm open. I had to go to hospital and get a couple of stitches. In my time working with vintage clocks, short of doing something stupid a main spring shouldn't break, I've worked with forging from the 1800s, to mid to late 1900s. Then I read the package, made in india!

I thought I'd finally have time to draw and try doing inktober again. But for some reason I can't wind down and relax. My hands rush through the sketch as if I had to be somewhere and I can't get lost in my artwork and escape. It's so frustrating and aggravating which leads to mistakes and me hating tie pictures in the end. why can't my mind settle down?! I just wanted to draw
I was already disappointed yesterday because my tablet didn't arrive and now today is not fun either

Correction : *presents mentally deranged extremist*

The political violence in the country has to stop. We are not some banana republic where assassinations and coups are the norm. The violent rhetoric and condemnation on both sides are to blame, for extremists have hijacked both parties. We are better than that, and should be able to disagree without malice. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

If those on the far-left believe this administration will sit around and watch them burn down city after city like rioters did 5 years ago, they are mistaken. Peaceful protests are a right. Violence and willful destruction of private property are not!

Arabs are handsome, attractive, and tough when they're greasing your palms and not trying to kill infidels. I get the business aspect of the trip, but make no mistake, they are "allies" only as a result of strategic importance and not to be fully trusted.
