Re: RAIN 9/14: Update- sad paper trail



On a mild Friday Funny note, years ago the small business I worked for had
to move a number of boxes of records to the owner's garage for storage. The
owner hired her teenaged grandson to make the move with his pickup truck. He
was very careful throughout the project, except for one detail - he forgot
to secure the lids on the boxes. He left a trail of records box lids, and
then records, all the way there.

Best wishes,
