One would think that the odometer (or even a trip odometer, had he the
thought to set it at the beginning of the trip) would have let him keep
track....  And true, had he also walked a significant amount, the
pedometer could be a useful adjunct.... <G>

 NB>> Pretty much S.O.P.... they do want to make sure there aren't nasty

Now that would be a nasty surprise, indeed... although she did bring it
upon herself... pre-testing probably wouldn't have uncovered that... ;)

 DS> I'd rather do it right the first time, myself. Plus, when I had the

I'm with you on doing it right the first time... :)  And combining the
two made good sense... :)

 NB>> You'd need to be in a colony in a very temperate zone with no insects

 DS> Not sure where I'd find one of those. It'd be my luck I'd sit down

Yeah... I don't know where you'd find that, either... ;)  And ants do
seem to be rather ubiquitous...  ;)
