	Screeeech....  nah.  If you do it to yourself in such manner, you are 
simply not covered.  No need for excessive riders.

	It's not that difficult a thing to figure out.  Sometimes I think there 
is some little-known requirement to be particularly stupid if you want 
to run for legislative office.

	On a smithing note, be careful when traveling.  I drove up to NJ from 
WV and had a paring knife I made in my computer bag.  Forgot about it 
and took it through security at Newark airport.  They took it.  It was a 
nice knife that I never got to finish.  I'm just glad they didn't take 
me... erm.... "away".
