Hi Matt,

Bert just posted about chrome metal balls (10" diam. or so) he saw at a
hardware
store. I also posted that I've seen these same balls at Home Base (which is
going
out of business, so most everything is 15 to 30% off). These look very
similar to
the garden glass balls, but I assure you, the ones Bert and I have seen are not
glass. I even remember one had a dent in it. At Home Base, they were
displayed near
the checkout counter in boxes (one ball per box). Just a thought.
