Well, this sure provoked a chuckle.  They should go through mine; I'd 
like to watch the faces.  15 years' worth of weaving, dog toenails, 
breeds of hogs, how to trim a goat for show, how to spin any fiber that 
crosses the path, why one would can beans one way but not another along 
with protracted discussions about how long to process them, ......on and 
on.  Fascinating stuff to the large powers of the world, I'm sure.  
They'd wither away with boredom......Once when one of my brothers was 
still in military intelligence he was miffed with another brother and 
myself.  He managed, in his snit, to spit out that we were the sort that 
got shot when captured:  boring and too stubborn to let go of 
information....oh, well, Buster.  Takes all kinds.

Once I thought to go through them and make better order of them, but 
I've settled on a system that lets me find what I need, and maybe twice 
a year I go through and set things straight.  Well, straighter. 

One thing I did get down pat, thanks to fire #1:  backups, out of the 
house.  So they could go through a LOT of them.....

Cold here, I'm putting off making a fire by finishing up a bushel of 
pears somebody brought me today.  I do love pears.
