Not havin' nuthin better to write about this morning, Phil sets down his
coffee for a while--

Very true.  I'm one of those people who ends up with about 20 or 30 tools
in the way for every little project.  It seems like they crawl out of the
woodwork to lie around in the way, like cats when you are reading.  But,
however, on the other hand.  Think about how many devil tools there are
to BUY in the world, at brand new retail prices from the yuppie scum
catalogs that tell you you need more and better and more tungsten
carbide-ish tools, bits, and jigs.  The electric outlets and 220 power
supplies alone--  And then think about the fact that most of them will be
in the trash (I almost said junk..think about it) in a mere 50 or 75
years.

Anyway, we haven't got the patent on how many tools does it take to draw
blood.  And you can skip the respirator and ear plugs.  ;-)
