   I don't think that I have one of those. Is it an ancient artifact that you've dug up in your back yard? Maybe it's worth millions!

   gee, a kettle with 3 legs to set it in the fire and loops to grab with pothooks. nope, that ain't cast iron. though if I'm correct, then it is a variant of pot, sorta.

   no, it's too rectangular for that. now I'm not sure what to call it- ladle?

    For a lot of years ago it had been at another "hand" or foot.

    well, it doesn't resemble any boot puller, mud scraper, or tub foot in my recognition files.

    I know what it is, Graylox! It's one of those things created just so people like you could use pics of parts of it to fool everyone in a game of "What Is It?"

    For some reason I am thinking it has something to do with horseshoes. But I like my previous guess better.

    Hmmmm.....I wonder if MaizeyDaze will guess "Horseshoe"???........

    Thanks Graylox. I haven't read The Wizard Of Oz in....well.....never! But I HAVE seen the movie about a hundred times. I keep hoping that Dorothy will pull out a pea-shooter and bring down the balloon when it takes off without her. In fact, maybe I'll go watch it again. You never know.....

    graylox, Dan is the winner! He posted 4 seconds before me. That was a very good (tough) game!

    That may be true, Maizey, but if you are in a different time zone, then even if I physically posted sooner, your actual TIME may be sooner. Tell you what.....I'll read the first have of the book and you can read the second half. After all, I already know how it ends. -Dan

    Nevermind. Obviously I can't proof-read my own typing, so I probably can't read a book either.

    here's that wood stove insert.

    here is a thumbnail of the 9-photo Panorama I put together of the town of Drain out my computer room window.

    I strongly suggest downloading the latter and viewing a local copy, it's 6.2 mb and 14284 x 2047.
    ----edit--
    never seen a horseshoe quite like that, so, clueless. never looked past clue 7, I was busy.

    Good, that you came to an agreement. It would have been too bad about that antiquarian book.
    I haven't read it, but I have like dan seen the film x times. The film is one of the few I have on DVD, and I think, it's time to see it again. It's the perfect film for the "maiden voyage " of my new PC. :-) with Vista :-(

    Dan, for years I'd always run for cover when the monkeys arrived. My husband still hasn't watched OZ the entire way through. His kids tease him about it. I haven't read the book either. But that reminded me of this 1961 book, the Ozma of Oz. (Front and back covers and some pages are shown.)

    I'm on EST.

    All I can take credit for was snapping the photos in a fairly flat plane without a pan head. here's the little telesar tripod I used.

    i haven't read any of the oz books since i was a kid (except for wicked which is an amazing book!), but they were pretty good. way more story than the movie.

    the books and film are very divergent. totally different flavor, and what, 30 plus oz books?

    ---edit---

    for vista, videodrome would seem more appropriate... only my opinion, though.

    now how did I get a partial double post?
