In which I learn how to weld

Or actually, "In which I watch other people learn how to weld"

On Monday, December 9, I went with one of our friends, Carl Q., to the welding class that he teaches in Bloomington.  I had told Carl earlier in the year that I wanted to see what he did up there.  Now the semester was nearing its close, and Carl would be retiring at the end of the semester, so there was no time to delay.  It was an interesting evening.  I learned a few things, though I did NOT learn how to weld.
