Ivan, I was sitting here reading your descriptions of things, people, places, and i wonder WHY...you have not written a book, or at least some articles for magazines? Maybe you have? You have a knack of painting a picture with words. I am not a writer, but I read quite a bit, and if you can't make some good money with your talent, I'd be surprised. I recently moved into a newer myself, and find myself looking for lightswitches where I expect to find them, and also have been trying to make use of everything I can that came with the new house, or from the old, to avoid spending precious money on everything new, I also have a record collection, tapes, over 300 collectible radios, electronic test equipment, and my wives "stuff" and whatever my children did not want to bring to school. I have had two minor floods in the new house, no fire yet, as anyone who knows me would suspect arson! (I would never think about it, but I do have good insurance....I hear your voice saying "don't even THINK about it!".......) Seriously, think about writing! Ken B
