Can you picture me doing a face plant? I don't know how I didn't think of that within about 15 nanoseconds.

Sometimes I have that moment of...

Wow, is it really that easy? Evidently I was trying to make it harder than it actually is/was.

Lowell, I've read several posts where people keep saying stuff like, "If you...
