"So, what is the hot ticket for chalking lines these days? Is it still the
atheletic marker stuff or have we evolved? And where can it be obtained?

Best is
1) field marker chalk. Obtain at Orchard Supply Hardware.* It is in
a different in-store location than
2) Agricultural gypsum (which comes in both brown and white; white
works best). So ask for directions. <G>
3) Third choice is Flour, obtainable at virtually any supermarket.
4) Fourth choice is Powdered Sugar but it does attract ants. Ever
skid on ants? Sorry I asked. <G>
Lime does bad things to your eyes and open cuts. Burns like hell.
Ditomaceous Earth is a carcinogen. It doe bad things to your lungs.
You'll need at least three (3) 50-pound bags at Marina. Store the excess in
their original containers in the neat box Rob Boynton built at the back of
the motorhome.
* Gypsum is probably available at Home Depot and Yard Birds, too.
