Note: This is a deliberate out-of-focus street shot for the story below.

... As I wipe my eyeglasses clean, I glance towards the front street for possible ride options.

"So, what will it be today - the good old, rickety, airy, yellow-and-black auto-rickshaw or the swanky, air-conditioned, spotless-white Uber taxi?"

"I just need a quick and cheap two-mile ride to the coffee shop for my next meeting... :-/ "

"Ain't both quick and cheap at this time of the day?"

"Then the Uber taxi it is..."

"But, don't you care about the livelihood of the old, long-serving, self-employed auto-rickshaw driver?"

"Don't you ever talk without asking questions?" I chide my bespoke virtual assistant loudly >:-{ baffling the people on the street :-O

"Well, ain't you the one who programs me to be smarter than being just an intelligent order taker?"

"I'll walk it!" I mumble after a long pause, knowing fully well that the smart-ass is now going to be insanely muddled up for a while trying to figure out whether 'walking' is a general option, or a specific one in response to a vexed question ;-) ...

Found these at The Forks the other day and reminded me of this image I took last year. However I have no idea what this is or whether either or both are burrs. I certainly hadn't ever seen burrs bloom before.

The fabric I used for the binding is a cotton broadcloth with a bit of stretch. It worked out fine, but I would recommend you do some test samples with the binding and the fabrics you would like to use to ensure weight and drape compatibility.
