**Don't knock office supplies. My desk is full of good things. How
many of you have a point stick? It's like a yard stick but it's a foot
long and marked in points (1 point, as well as 6 points, as well as
inches and millimeters. I had to go to a printing supply company on
the south side to find that, and even the man there had a bit of trouble
finding it (though it is now for sale online.)

Actually, I do. But we called it a "pica pole". I also
have a circular "slide rule" for calculating percentages
when you want to scale up/down a photograph so it will
fit in the space on the page.

I frankly don't know what I'll do with my husband's tools
should he predecease me.
