text: The weather is still the same and so is my cold. Dr Vieyera has brought me a box of stone axes from Mills of the Sema, Rengma and Lhota. Some are excellent. Among them is a wonderful Sema shoulder axe and some of the four cornered type, but the more common type is a developed form of the cylinder axe with flatly polished edge on both sides.
