:))) In the herp arena, empty cages seem to fill themselves from herp
shows only to be followed by more cage purchases for the additional
herps one couldn't resist but hadn't housing for. I don't go to herp
shows, the danger is too great. A show where old SF was being sold
would be a terrible temptation!

The book shelf business is a challenge. Any time I've weeded through
my books I've almost immediately wanted/needed some I've discarded.
Maybe if I lined every room with shelves all 'round, I'd manage
better. My cousin has done that with two rooms in her house. It's
quite a wonderful thing, very attractive and endlessly interesting!
