    Which, of course, requires this joke: In Soviet Russia a Man Goes to Buy a Car. He has saved for years and years, because there's no such thing as "credit." He goes up to the dealer and asks for a car, to which the dealer responds: 'You know there is a 10 year waiting list?' The man then answers, 'OK,' and after some time he then agreed to buy a car. The dealer says, 'OK, your car will be delivered 10 years, 11 months from now. On February 11th.' So he pays for the car in advance, and just before he leaves he asks the owner, 'Can I pick the car up in the morning or afternoon?' 'It's 10 years away, what does it matter?' 'The plumber is coming in the morning'.

    The programmer who sets up that camera will probably set it up to favor people who look like him. I think that's is how it usually works.

    Ten of us lucky people have received the guitar so far. I have sent out 10 small cards with 5 of the 3D printed picks attached, so far. Six people are still waiting to get their guitars. I also sent a pick pack to Larrivée. One of the forum members put together this photo of all the backs. [image: Larrivee-Forum-VI-10-Backs.jpg] Even though they are all spec'd the same, they are all individual, unique, creations.

    We did spend a week there between Thanksgiving and Christmas a few years ago. It was rather unpleasant. It was cold, but at least it was damp.

    But, to be honest, it was easier to derive the "clever" solution from the "brute force" solution than arriving directly at the "clever" soluton.

    Just be a good boy and put on your black and orange. Happy wife, happy life. Burrow grew up in The Plains, just outside Athens, OH. They have a lot of indian burial mounds there. The claim is there's rooms for some more chiefs in those mounds.

    @klaus good point. But, if the Jewish people are "white" the Nazis were not racist.
