This story is a perfect commercial for my course of lectures, Principles of Efficient Thinking -- which just happen to be available from Laissez Faire Books.

Hi Barbara,

You said: "This story is a perfect commercial for my course of lectures, Principles of Efficient Thinking -- which just happen to be available from Laissez Faire Books."

According to my search, your lectures are no longer available from Laissez Faire Books.

They are, however, available from Amazon at the following link:

Principles of Efficient Thinking

Amazon includes a review by Diana M Hsieh, which you should appreciate.

I wondered the same thing, Eli. But I have to say I find your posts funny!

Please use more capitals!

:) thanks.

um, i don;t use capitals. they waste everyone's time. or mine, at least!

are my posts harder to read w/o them? i suppose it is a habbit i should break...

another one i just got reminded of, when reading over this post: i typo ; instead of ' very often.

Well, I'll consider using capital letters. I think that text boxes and editers should simply auto-correct it, of course...

I grew up on a farm.  The description fit a typical day on our farm.  My dad used to call our place "breakdown acres" because of all the mishaps.  I expect others in SOLO who had agrarian backgrounds can relate.  So call it a little of that good old American redneck humor.
