Yes, thanks for the question....however, THAT book is LONG overdue for

revision.....and I'd still like to see just where it says DCs " ain't "

and everybody else " is " ......

and I'd like to see how we can implement change there.....

along with my list of Most Unlikely Things to Happen on This Planet.....

is for the Post Office to issue a chiropractic stamp.....

this is WAY LONG overdue.....

and, sure, sure, I know.....there's a committee working on it......at

least that's what the Postal Authorities told me 25 years ago..........
