Der Bingle sent me an incense burner shaped like a teepee; it was from him and my good friend NaPoo.

And here is a picture of the teepee:

Along with this, they sent some scented wood samples:

Now, look inside the box and see how things are packaged and labeled.

Because this is an open package, the little logs are not so tightly squeezed together that they appear as one big rectangle. I was on the phone with Der Bingle, reading off the samples and  said, “Holder wood, alder, mesquite . . .”

Later when I slit the plastic, I realized the holder wood was actually a holder for the incense made out of terra cotta.

As my good friend Grover would say, “I am soooooo embarrassed.”
