Just short note to thank both of you for including me on the ping list. I take much enjoyment reading this sort of stuff. Kudos to you blam...for finding such stimulating articles....and special thanks to you farmfriend for maintaining the list.

I was in a Barnes and Noble bookstore yesterday perusing the science section of their magazine rack. .....I recognized one of the cover pieces as something you had posted on. I thought out loud..."BLAM!!!"

I was immediately surrounded by Mall Security...asking me what I thought I was doing.

I was so in awe...all I could do was point at the rack...(which by that time unfortunately was blocked by a well endowed redhead)
....and shouted..with a slight drool from the lower right side of my lip..."BLAM!!!...BLAM!!!...BLAM!!!"

This was very soon relagated to an abbreviated..... "BLA...BLA...BLA"...due to the multiple stranglehold that three of the more enthusiastic "I really could have passed the policeman's test, but I found Mall Security a more rewarding career ,two way radio packing and, well vested in giving directions to the restroom", personell had on my throat.

After a quick fifteen minute discussion...which took about an hour an a half....they all agreed that I was not a threat to the strucural integrity of the Mall...they went off in search of the redhead.

It was exiting the store that I noticed the Al Franken book prominently displayed in the front on the "Best Seller" Rack..that's when my problems really started..........................................................

I'm glad that you appreciate it. I do it because I enjoy the resultant discussions and learning opportunity. My thanks to 'farmfriend' too.

I was at Barnes & Nobles resently and purchased a copy of Whittaker Chamber's book Witness as a Christmas present for my son. (This book is close to the top of my all-time-favorite books.)
