Clay came right at lunchtime. The driver, who's gotten very good at backing up our driveway from River Road, caught a gap in the traffic and zipped right in. Backed up a little closer, he said, because the pallet was extra heavy.
Okay, I said, But I ordered a ton, same as usual.
After he'd left and I finished my waffles, I went to hand-truck the clay into my studio, and found out he was right. I'd ordered a ton; they sent me a pallet: capacity 2400 lbs.
Oh sure, I'll use it up, eventually. Problem is, I really only have space in my studio to store forty boxes of clay. Where am I gonna put the other eight?
