This post is about pottery, so if you will be bored, log off now. Today I took a drive out to a little town called A'Ali, that is known for its pottery. It was about 110 when I got there, so I was the only one poking my head around. This guy wants to come to America and work, he said. I figured, what the hell, we're gonna give amnesty to everyone else - and this guy can make cool stuff out of mud, so why not? I bought a clay water pot almost like the one he is making for about $1.50. I walked around town a bit to dehydrate myself and saw a few other pottery shops, a cemetery and a mosque. On the way out of town I saw some historic burial mounds that go back about 1,000 years.
