I agree with you entirely Walt, except ....
Theyr're called "cotton buds", not "Q-tips"'
and it's "Windolene", not "Windex". :-)
And while I am on the subject, (sort of anyway), I saw a Chrysler
Crossfire trying hard to accelerate along the Thames Embankment today:
it did not sound healthy ;-)
While I am still pretty way OT: we were in London to see the Turner,
Whistler, Monet exhibition in Tate Britain and that James W was no mean
painter ...
