Speaking of light bulbs...

Three of my nephew/engineering students live with us during the school year and decided to replace the bulb in the ceiling fan. They actually shot a video of one standing on a stool while another spins the stool around...removing the old bulb and installing the new.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sounds like these nephews have great genetics. Are they from your side of the family, John? :)

[John Orr 206]

Ha, Ha Tony.

Actually, they're my sister's kids. The 17 and 19 year olds are both Juniors at Old Dominion and the 21 will graduate in Spring with his Masters. All were home-schooled.
