Storey,
That sounds like a darned good idea! Hey Richard Hull, perhaps your
wife might appreciate one of these?
I actually wish I had someone around when I'm playing with the high
voltage. Most of the time I have to rely entirely on my own caution,
care and attention. Any single girls lurking out there wanna get
hitched to a 'mad' scientist? : )
I'm serious! and single,
