<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Tonight, yes late this afteroon I had to tune a Mason and
Hamlin piano at a nursing home. The activities director said that 5:00 was
a good time to come because no one would be in the lobby to disturb my
tuning. Great I thought. Well I got there and no piano in the
lobby. I had to wait until someone at the front desk could help me
out. It was in the activities room. I found the missing piano
without a bench. Once I located the bench, I was able to get started. It
took me longer because I couldn't figure out how t get the silly front music
desk and front panel off until later on. It also had regulating issues,
dampers were too close to the strings and up in the trebble area and made a
thunk sound like a harpsichord. I had to work with them quite a
bit. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hers my point finally, :) I tuned with ear plugs the ones
from Diane here on the list. Diane if you're out there I need you to send
me your address privately so I can pay for these little life savers. I was
able to tune the piano during a bingo game! This one old lady kept
complaing about playing the darn, for list purposes, piano. :) Thanks t o
all of you out therewho recommend ear plusg They're great! They filter out
a lot of junk especially on my wife's Kimball artist console. Thanks
guys!</FONT></DIV>

<DD><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica" color=#000080 size=2>Must be why the
Bible has references to the earth being round. <BR>
<DD><BR>
<DD>Luis’ claim is a popular myth, but that is what it is, a myth. There
is much scholarship to demonstrate that throughout history the view of a
flat of earth was not widely held in the church, indeed, it was quite the
contrary.<BR>
<DD><BR>
<DD>The Bible is the most published and most revered book in human
history. Its accuracy is unmatched by any other book of antiquity. If you
wish to poke fun at it and those who believe it by propagating myths, be
my guest. But it isn’t very tolerant. And it will elicit a response from
me. <BR>
<DD><BR>
<DD>It will probably also elicit responses from others condemning me.
That’s fine, I can take it. Just be sure you equally condemn Louis’
statement or you might face the charge of being a hypocrite. <BR>
