Groovy, Mark. Reminds me of the blue crushed velvet bedspread I used to have, along with the green shag carpet that I used to rake.

what's 'duck' tape?

Heck, I have fixed a 120 psi air line with duct tape before, and even made it 10 miles away to a garage. And there used to be this cheap motel over by the truck stop called the Economy Inn. The sign read, From $23.99. From experience the less expensive rooms had more duct tape. It was used to fix the carpet and the bedspreads, cracks in the windows & mirrors and to hold the air-conditioner together. It was even used to tape the smoke detector to the wall. And I have seen it called Duck Tape by one tape manufacturer.

Some artsy-type gal that I used to know down in Brooklyn near Grand Army Circle used to make Astroturf coats in various colors back in the mid 1980s. A friend and I saw her there back then. They were just a little bit pricey.
