![[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I will state right away that I am a lousy typist, and although I will try to avoid typing errors, I know when things get fast and furious my thumbs and fingers will mangle words. So plse excude mu tyoing errors I also use voice activated software that does not always translate what I say efficiently. So if you get a paperback where I comment, “This is a goober flavor”, be assured I meant “This as a good paper.”](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
