[Publib] Monday thoughts on Sunday

[Robert Balliot]

One of my friends was very interested in tools when we were growing up.  I
remember him showing
off a beautiful ratchet set he had received for Christmas.  His father was a
distinguished professor of
English and his mother had a similar educational background. He now has 150
trucks in his plumbing and HVAC fleet.   I cannot estimate his net worth.
