I have a totally off-topic question, but one that seems to acquired importance in my life very recently. I seem to recall that there are several people who read this newsgroup who are either in the reserves or related to someone in the reserves. If someone who is in the Army Reserves says he is...

Anyone doing this? I had lots of fun over the weekend using lots of specialty fibres that I had bought previously for other projects. It looks very pretty.

(Emailed to Victoria, Tia Mary and Dianne, and posted) And our mail carrier, apparently sensing that this was important, even delivered The Big Tube right to my door.
