Hubert,

Don't feel badly about dropping things.  You have several years on me and I 
have already noticed how easy it is to drop things.  Maybe they make an 
anti-drop pill, something like Viagra® that can help us old people.  I have 
to be careful about dropping things in my shop as they seem to vanish into a 
black hole or something!.  Maybe if I cleared out 30 years of floor mess it 
would help, but that would only allow round objects to roll farther into the 
black hole and be more difficult to locate.  I really ought to be down in 
the shop working on my next project for a possible LSOR article, but here I 
sit pecking away at the keyboard.

Jesse in icy but melting thank goodness,  Troy, TN USA.
