Thanks for letting me know; after all, unfair advantages are my favorite
kind.  (I'll get started on my infamous hot fudge recipe so it'll be
ready when they arrive....)

No problem--I just wanted to make sure that I didn't get a toolbox that's
too small or uncomfortable.  I'll even fill it at first with comfy stuff
like extension cords and balls of string.  (In absolute terms, those may
not sound real comfy, but as toolbox fillings go....)

Alas, even with a 38" sleeve, I fear I won't be able to reach all the way
to Harrisburg....

Well, I do happen to know a good place only a few miles from me that
specializes in alternators for just about any car (and they do Porsche
alternators for a mere $70--so most other kinds of cars are probably
a fair bit cheaper even than that).

A Western medical doctor?  Not at all--I was assuming you'd want to dress
in a couple of leaves and dance wildly around my bed....

Trygve   (Of course you never know if I might try a little voodoo of
          my own.)

101 More Uses for Five Gallons of Chocolate Ice Cream, by Scarlet Leather.
This beautiful, profusely illustrated work is a delightful surprise for those
of us who thought that the first volume had exhausted all the possible uses
for five gallons of chocolate ice cream; you'll find 101 breathtaking, full-
color pictures of things to do with ice cream that you'd previously only
dreamed of (or will dream of after you've perused this volume).  "Use number
fifty-four really changed my mind about owning a forklift" -- Anne Sopaipilla
