I've been thinking lately about all the ballots in Afghanistan getting brought in on donkey backs. And, yep, you can't blame mules for at least doing their job honestly. Side note inspired by your mention of perfectly coiffed elderly women that gave me a chuckle. In Britain the term used to be the "blue rinse brigade." As late as the seventies it was a Southern thing too. Hope you enjoy the Wiki article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_rinse Terreson Another good story, Joel Brouwer.
