Did I tell you that I love gadgets? It takes me a while to go through Lowes or Home Depot, even WalMart sometime, because I love to look at all the gadgets - tools, machines, flashlights, all kinds of things.

So, now that I have cable, I have fell in love with a show called "How Things Are Made" on the Discovery channel. Last night they had machines creating chains. I found it fascinating how someone created the mechanics of those machines creating the links on those chains! The metal wraps around, two "arms" bend it into place, another one removes it and changes its position so another piece then goes through it and the arms bend it, changes its position, and on and on...meanwhile the resulting chains drops down behind the machine. What kind of a mind can figure out the logic of how that is accomplished - Wow, I'm awed by that!
