flint. knapped flint. and of course, these knapped flints are imbedded into this sledge.a minute. the fact is, what would happen was, a big surface or area was prepared for the cut crop to be laid onto. this was then put down flat on top of the crop. it could then either be pulled by an animal or by people and it could be weighted down perhaps with rocks, even, or quite often with an animal it would have someone standing on top of it. now that's a pretty skilled thing. so the person who said surfboard wasn't a million miles away in many respects. and it separates the grain from the ear and then cuts the chaff. and it does that by essentially dragging it across and breaking it down. now, this one is a 19th-century example. it's a 19th-century example. what's happened to this is it's become a decorative item. see all this fabulous wear in the grain. it's been now cleaned up and i suspect it hangs on your wall. in my hallway, yeah. in your hallway. okay. value? as a decorative item, it's £200 or £300. but it embodies so much. thank you very much. pleasure. well, we know now.

patty is up in flint michigan. hi patty. >> caller: hi, how are you bill?'re such a breath of fresh air. i drink my triple espresso, you guys are great. i agree with everything, all of the tweeters, tweets that peter was reading. and even though the saturday delivery won't really affect me that much, i do -- the first thing i want to say is we are losing social skills by not writing hand-written letters or typing letters. we still write letters. we have friends who are writers out in idaho and they write letters twice a month. we return letters. handwritten, folded snail mail. i tell you it is just -- it brings a smile to our face because most of the time, i'm guilty of it, i send you know, e-mail birthday cards and it is so impersonal. we're losing social skills. >> bill: you're right. i don't know that we'll ever get them back, patti. >> caller: the young people, i'm trying -- my younger nieces and nephews and stuff i'm handwriting cards and thank you notes and just cards saying hi, how are you get them off their ipad and everything else. the other thing

it is not about making corporations persons for the first time or any of this in flint rhetoric. it was about the government banning a movie that referenced hillary clinton that said it was unfit for her to the commander in chief. it was only banning a movie that would be available on pay- per-view cable. an adult cannot watch something in the privacy of their own home on pay-per-view because mccain- feingold banned it. do you really want to ban movies? the answer is perhaps yes, which is why i did not want to reverse citizens united. the second issue that came out of the decision is that all new avenues of disclosure -- i am not sure where this comes from, the reality is the court has upheld some disclosure, has struck other disclosure. the kaine- -- mccain-feingold were upheld in the mcconnell case, and what they out was a one-page disclosure regime for television and radio ads and movies that air on television, run within a well-defined parks ability to federal election that referenced a candidate. this does not give license to all sorts of other expensive disclosure machines

careful driving around lansing, flint and detroit and also around grand rapids.ezing rain from cleveland to columbus, ohio, too. not exactly enjoyable there. here's what we'll deal with. that storm leaves. a new storm forms and heads north into new england saturday night into sunday. especially sunday morning would be the heaviest snow. the pink shading, 6 to 12 inches possible. mostly talking from the mass pike northwards, southern vermont, southern portions of connecticut. once you go further to northern new england, the amounts are a little less. let me give you specifics on the cities. not really thinking new york city's going to get much, if anything. maybe a tiny bit of snow on the tail end, but no accumulations. hartford, minor ordeal at one to three. same for providence, albany to boston, looks like you should be remaining snow at the backside of this storm. three to six. temperatures are not as cold as the last two weekend storms. this will be a heavier, wet snow. we're a little concerned with power outages especially southern portions of maine, new hamp
