      All I know is that the author of "Seabiscuit: An American Legend" published in 2001, Laura Hillenbrand, doesn't conjure up the image of your typical elder writer when discussing dry matters of historical significance. No history teacher I ever had looked like this. [usually, they are stern, cold, & nothing glamorous to talk about]...

      Once upon a time I worked in Grover's Mill.

      I'm pretty sure that my boss was a martian. It would explain a lot.

      You mean the radio broadcast wasn't real? Ah man! SW1 was looking forward to getting a free tour of the alien mothership. Perhaps even learn how to drive it & shoot off some weapons while we were at it like a sweet "Call Of Duty" XBOX Game. :D

      Not a day that nobody likes to think about. But really know the feeling SW1 as both sets of grandparents had to live through that too.

      Thanks PT! But, doesn't typing a response to your Labor Day post constitute effort & working my fingertips? Seems counterproductive on a Natl. Day Off. Only teasing buddy! Only teasing. :)
