Bought up two decent kids. -- Where did you purchase them?
I hope they were the right size, etc. Was there a return policy?

oh an by the way. i recommend reading this little book...it
all started in a Sausalito, California, restaurant in 1982 when Anne Herbert scrawled the words "practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty ...

i am not sure if this foundation is connected to the author,
and there is some discrepancy, some claim she is from sausalito
CA, some say Berkeley, CA, one mention even says that phrase is
anonymous, but Anne Herbert definately wrote it.

the book talks about keeping a clown nose in your car
for amusing fellow travellers when stuck in traffic,
and other ways to bring a smile, such as feedin a parking meter
that has expired, paying for an extra passage at a toll
booth, and treating the next in line to pass thru,
little things that help you and others thru the day.
