>> Yes, in your continuity. I was thinking about Ben 'making do' with a steel mixing bowl, which slick was very hard to hold what with his limited feedback. <<
Also true. The movies show him using metal containers because he breaks other stuff, but I think you're right about the texture problem. He'd need something like a foam coating over metal.
>> I could see Steve picking up interesting things and they are nearly antiques but he doesn't think of them that way because there is no way for him to remember what happened after he went down in the plane. <<
Yes, exactly. He also likes to use things, rather than have them thrown away.
>> Especially if he goes to a thrift out of NYC, there are still closets and attics disgorging things that had been held back for best. <<
True. One reason I have Steve's era-imprint as well as my own is that my grandparents, who came through the Depression, liked that kind of shopping. We hit a lot of rummage sales, and those had older books: Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Dick and Jane, Billy Whiskers, etc. If I start talking to someone of that age, I pretty much automatically fall into mode, and if they don't know me it's very startling, because I don't look like I should know that stuff.
