Like your brother, we have to accept the fact that they are family. As
for redeeming social value, she designs roads around the Phoenix area in
the winter, supervises their building in the summer. She also
contributes a good amount of money to taxes on alcohol and tobacco.

 ML> Well, yeah.

Of hearing and sight, I think I'd rather lose the former than the
latter. Steve was talking about light bulbs with someone on the radio
the other day, commented at one point that we use the white LED light
bulbs because I like the light. It's a help in matching fabric, threads,
all the work with color that I do. I can get very discriminatory in
color sometimes. (G)

I use the fine crumbs that I've made.

Kept some traffic on the echo for a few days. (G)
