Sorry Whit, you're a day too late. But howsabout I give you a nice discount on my forthcoming e-book, "The Totally Original Creations of Marko"? (Don't worry, I credited you, so that makes it OK Smile )
Thought: Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.

Exactly fixing the problem that could have been avoided with my Bicycle Color Monte. The blue diamond smudged off and became very light blue (no silvery surface left). The other two eventually wore away, but my original set looks new. It's something like a Hoyle back, in bridge size.

That Bicycle set was my favorite, as I don't want these "old" ones to wear out. Hence the "Whit" idea of making up the one stated above. Now I can put these away again, and "kick it up a notch," so to speak. Does add a touch of class, as well.

Ever grateful,

Doug
