On the topic of G, a real life story a few days ago:

Andrea rented a big truck to pick up a crate from Oakland last week. It got 
snarled in Customs, and Andrea compained the truck seat was too high for 
her to put her heel on the floor for the accelerator. We ended up stuck in 
a motel in Hayward. In the morning I asked her how much foot support she 
needed, which was about an inch - in the drawer of the nightstand was the 
solution, a Gideons Holy Bible. Worked fine.

We get back to Santa Cruz, and Andrea hands me this Bible. I leave it 
leaning against a wall. A local homeless person wanders by, picks up the 
bible and starts reading it .....

It's true, the ways of God are unknowable to men..... ;)
