NB>> Quite possible... :) BM> I wonder if parasols will come back into style with the 'protection BM> from harmful UV rays' consideration? ...Have a clip for the cell phone BM> so can face time while walking! You really should look into getting a retirement job as an inventions thinker.... You keep coming up with ideas.... who knows if they are at all practical, but maybe someone could run with them... NB>>>> There you go... List all of that ton of books you did read... and then NB>>>> a paragraph of how badly you felt when it turned out that someone else NB>>>> had read more than you had.... Maybe even a sentence wondering if the NB>>>> winner had read books that were much shorter than the ones you read... NB>>>> Or was it based on how many pages read already...
