A fresh new box of Palominos.

Time for a new pencil.



That's the thing about using pencils. They get used up. The short one pictured is just about the limit of comfortable writing. I'll find a jacket pocket for it to stay in so I always have one on hand. And in the mean time I get to get to work on a brand new Palimino.
