51 It's early (for me) and I'm physically exhausted, due to copious amounts
52 of hard manual labor, in 90+ heat. Most of my drives are packed up for a
53 move to cooler climates. Cannot handle Florida humidity/bugs any longer,
54 not to mention the Air Conditioning bills for the cluster work, are
55 ginormous and growing every day.

60 old files/codes.... or they are squirreled away in the boxes.
