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

Coincidentally . . . for some unknown reason I have been sticking most
of those little produce stickers I get around the edge of my (second
hand but gift) iMac. THere are thirteen of them and they're all four
digits. Looks like I don't buy any dubious GM stuff, but then I don't
buy organic either.

I also have fortunes from cookies, lens labels from cheap (dollar
store) reading glasses & labels from Eclipse gum containers. I have
no idea why i collect these things.
