Clive,
Confession IS good for the soul and I do confess a certain complicity in
the Uncle Dick blackmail attempt. His responses were, in fact, in response
to my inquiries and concerns about his reading habits. I did urge him to
read but at a pace that accommodates his advancing years. As one reaches
his dotage a certain degree of lip fatigue whilst reading is oft
encountered. I just didn't want the poor old soul to overtax himself!
As to the doughnut vs LF controversy, all I can add is that it does take
proper nourishment to schlep LF gear any great distance. I realize that in
the UK the American staff of life is probably not wide-spread. Please
forgive the poor colonies their quirks and oddities. After all, I believe
that one of the scissored portions of Weston's "Daybooks" contained his
profession of love for the national breakfast food thus giving us historical
authenticity as well . . .;>)
