I had a fun visit with May Luk in London and want to pass on her idea
about cone temperature choice.

Cone 8 is very good, 8 in chinese means prosperity.
Cone 4 or 04 is bad, rhymes with death in chinese (we've covered this
already) so I'm out of luck but I will keep trying.
Cone 6 is only so, so
And Cone 28 would be really good, means easy prosperity. It's also
the number of her studio which is probably why her studio sale went so well.

SO, there is more than one way to choose what cone you're going to
fire too. ;-)

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that
we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." --U.S. President (and Nobel Peace Prize winner) Theodore
Roosevelt.
