If Midas touches things that turn to gold...

...then today belonged to Murphy!

Murphy's Law exhibit #1: nothing, and I mean NOTHING that went near the wheel today became pottery...it was a lot more like "hey let's watch you attempt to center, attempt to pull, and then it can all fall apart."

Murphy's Law exhibit #2: Know what 5 gallons of freshly mixed glaze does when the plastic bucket it's mixed in cracks? Well, I do! And so does dad's freshly "glazed" shop floor! It went EVERYWHERE and is the slickest, stickiest mess you have ever seen!

Murphy's Law exhibit #3: fine, no turning today...I get it, so...let's do some slab work. Except, without boring you to death in details, lets just say it worked out as well as any other task planned for today.

So what do you do when Murphy takes over for Midas? Relinquish the throne dear subjects...and wait for another day.
