   That's a good idea and one I should have thought of.

   What?  And have me try to ride around with no balance in the rain?  No one   
   would sell me insurance.  (-:  One of my acquaintances is a Harvard Law grad   
   and he wouldn't swap his M-B for anything, but that did not influence me in   
   the least, considering how I feel about lawyers.  There was one I trusted in   
   my lifetime that I used to play golf with.  He was true to his word, which is   
   not the norm for those guys.
