One more thing on the iPad/iPhone. There are quite a few libraries doing electronic lending of materials. Mine uses the Overdrive Media Console, which registers to my account. I can get books on the iPhone/iPad with it as lended by the library. Haven't seen Kindle/Nook versions for that.

If only I had a shirt like that .....

I used to have a shirt like that.

It started out as a plain white shirt, but then I worked 48 hours straight and the only thing I had to snack on was Nerds.

Soft brown sugar. Don't know what name it goes by in the USA. Fairly dark brown, very sticky sugar.
