Barry,

 BM> That was one of my initial flights-of-fancy concerns when I started
 BM> wearing contact lenses: "Says here yer' supposed t' be wearin'
 BM> glasses." "I'm wearing contact lenses -- check my eyes."

  Or like what Red Skelton said. He didn't want checked eyes...he
liked them brown. Of course, it's perfect if you're a cab driver. <G>

 BM> Or at least until things settle down toward the old normal again.  I
 BM> can't see people waiting around overnight to make a connection to a
 BM> city five or eight hours away.  I'm thinking (using trains for the
 BM> example) instead of 50 car passenger trains they'll be 10 or 20, so run
 BM> more frequently and so more conveniently.

  The longest Amtrak train now is Auto Train, but the back half is
with the auto carriers. Otherwise, most have a dozen cars or less.

 BM> to get a license which AFAIK is a minimal cost and more to keep track
 BM> of them plus spread out so don't have several individuals fighting over
 BM> the same location.)
 DS>   They need something like that in Arkansas.

 BM> Or at least Little Rock.

  I doubt it'll happen.

 DS>   When I said BS one day at work, a female employee said "Cows
 DS> do, too. But, they don't brag about it". <G>

 BM> <chuckle>  Good comeback!   I have an old paperback which is a
 BM> compilation of odds and ends.  One is a simple doodle-drawing of what I
 BM> take as two duck heads.  One says "Bullsh--!", the other says "In my
 BM> day we said 'point of order'".

  LOL!!

 DS> a dinner/meal. Well, when the vittles are on the table, and Maw
 DS> Hollowbone (I was her husband in the play) yells out "Come And
 DS> Get It!!", everyone yelled "Yahoo!!"...and the script noted
 DS> "there is a mad rush for the table". <G>

 BM> Surprise! Plastic food!!

  Well, there goes my appetite.

 DS>   I've seen dogs snap at flies buzzing around their heads, and at
 DS> times, they'd catch them, and eat them.

 BM> Well if frogs can eat what bugs them....

  Really.

 BM> ... PC RAID... Kills program bugs, DEAD!
 DS>   I wish there was such a product...but it'd meet its match with
 DS> Windows. :P

 BM> <chorus>  LINUX!!!

  I don't have a fetish for penguins. <G>

 BM> Of course it has a few bugs and quirks too.

  That's what I hear.
