    A self-made multimillionaire/owner of an all suites hotel company once said: "Bob, free is a good price." lol I've realized since that there are many commercial products exceptions: large bold print [written by marketing] gives while fine print [written by corporate attorneys] takes away.

    "Miscellaneous"

    Non-valuable stuff, possibly junk, which can be kept in one place to avoid it cluttering up other areas of value.

    I have a blank-faced analog clock with no hands on it.

    That way, I can always tell when it's coffee o'clock. It works for bacon, too.

    @Roller-Man: My own younger brother was also a "Former SeaBee".
    Thanks, for your post. Care for a game of Fischer Random 960?
