Re: [rant] Missing sock syndrome

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My manager just yells at me to go empty out the washing machine of coins,
washers, beanies, screws, anchors...but she keeps the money. Dang it. There
is no equity.

large

hand

resistors,

placed
| them in the correct compartment in the tackle box...this worked well for
| about 15 years.
