[Faith-talk] substitute for a stylus

[Barbara Hammel]

It makes really sharp dots, but when I was a kid we took a nail and wrapped 
it with a gob of tape.  It was a heavier tape like electrical tape (duct 
tape may work.)  You could put a ball of it at the end you hang onto to make 
it more comfortable under the finger for gripping.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
