Another good place for books is your local library. Or, if you have something like it, a "Friends of the Library" group. Both sell the books to raise funds. Problem is, of course, that we seem to buy as many as we get rid of :-). Hard bound .50, soft .25, magazines .10 - hard to resist.

I've forgotten how to use a hammer. Thinking back, I recall it's the metal end that's used to hit the nail.

Well Sal, you absolutely have enough to start with, it is all gravy from here.

Well, you can always swing it at danger, a warning, or love between your brothers and your sisters a-all over this land, but generally swinging at a nail results in less chaos.

No.

Well, my post may have been confounded by my pasting from one post into another. I apologize if it left you in a confused state. It surely was not intended.

Please allow me to also extend my apologies to any "future generations" out there who are reading this! : ) What year did the SawStop technology become mandated by law in the US?
