That's a good idea and one I should have thought of.

What?  And have me try to ride around with no balance in the rain?  No one
would sell me insurance.  (-:  One of my acquaintances is a Harvard Law grad
and he wouldn't swap his M-B for anything, but that did not influence me in
the least, considering how I feel about lawyers.  There was one I trusted in
my lifetime that I used to play golf with.  He was true to his word, which is
not the norm for those guys.
