Indeed!

For the last month or so, I've been looking for
a 'grease pencil' or 'china marker'. My local
office supply stores were helpless as were my
local art supply stores. I didn't want the
inefficient kind that looks like a pencil.
I wanted the kind with the plastic holder that
uses replaceable 'leads'.

My Google searches did not reveal the name of this
neat tool. (I did not check all the half million
cites though.) Grrr.

One of my pals knew what I was on about and loaned
me her grease pencil. Bliss! It works perfectly
in my application, it is exactly what I remembered
from my yout, now has seven colors available and it
is *still made in the U.S.A.* in exotic, inscrutable
Alameda California!

I just bought a dozen of them on eBay for about
$1.10 each, including shipping.
