Ick. ... 

Yeah I agree, it's no fun. But you get used to it, and it's the same for everyone.

I thought about that as a possibility, but I don't want to move to Ecuador. 

Well, in that case the equator has 12 more countries to offer, among them Colombia, Gabon, Uganda and Indonesia.
Lots of choices!

I'm a little confused, but probably because there was a typo in my previous comment. I should have said "it sets a little after 9 p.m.," and better yet "the sun sets."

I'm probably the one who's confused.

I haven't read that article. I don't have the patience to read any more about evangelicals, but perhaps this is not about them?

The Fosdick section of the article talks about how Fosdick actually got into a fight with "Fundamentalists" because he represented a more modern ("liberal") approach to the Bible. I found that interesting.

I seem to remember the article discussing how today's evangelicals developed.

BetterMost People / Re: Collections - What do you collect?

« Last post by Jeff Wrangler on Today at 03:30:00 pm »

Jeff, I am what is known as his "personal representative." Back in 2021, he and I met with his lawyer and we drew up the documents. I am his medical and financial POA (power of attorney) and am in charge of disposing of all of his assets. Somehow, I never thought it through because he simply didn't have anyone else...no family, relatives or heirs.

Thank you! I'm so glad to know this! I was afraid you might accidentally create a legal problem for yourself. I didn't want something like that to happen to you.

Anyway, perhaps there is somewhere online where you might be able to find a value for the jugs, maybe even for some specifically in his collection. I'm useless at these searches, but maybe there is even some kind of group--like maybe on Facebook?--for collectors of these jugs.
