Much less than pushing a coat and probably sweater sleeve back. Your pre-conceived notions simply fall to dust. Like the dust in your pocket. Coat came back from the dry cleaner in April. I assume it's dust free - for now anyway. -- "...there are many humorous things in this world; among them the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages." -Samuel Clemens |
