Bill, May is not that big of a metropolis and with the ag building out next
to the baseball diamond, one wall of the ag building was pulling double duty
as the backstop for pitching practice. One of the ag students had his
beehives stacked along that wall, along with a few bricks (sorry, I
exagerated about the wall part) of beeswax and... ; you'll just have to
visualize it, Bill, cause practice is closed, no outsiders allowed.
I did use that Lexan in one of my early attemps at making a waterproof
camera case for a Mexico caving expedition.... and being from May, I thought
double duty as a bullet proof camera case might come in handy also...

Brother Bob West,
I'm intrigued by the image of a fastball thrown into a wall of beeswax.
Have you seen this done? I drive through May, Texas once in a while. Is
that something they do there that I could watch sometime?
