My Golly!. Thanks for coming aboard, Paul. On a personal note-- I spent many hours roaming the grounds there in Strawberry Canyon at U of C when I was a kid ~1933-34. I especially remember collecting some discarded cacti from the garbage pile mostly from the Opuntia group next to my bare skin, and spending the better part of the next 2-3 days in misery picking nearly invisible spines out of my swollen belly skin. My mother helped some with a magnifying glass. (They looked so soft--how could they be spines?.) . I became skilled with a tweezers and improved my fine motor skills substantially. . ----- Original Message ----- From: <pbs-request@lists.ibiblio.org> To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 12:21 PM Subject: pbs Digest, Vol 71, Issue 22
