====================================

Lin,
Have you had the dubious pleasure of asking someone in the supermarket
to hand you something from a sort-of high shelf? I'm jut barely 5
feet (when I have tall hair) and I have really short arms and legs. I
always ask the shortest person I can see to reach for me. Usually
makes their day ;-)
