Sensing Humor

The universe occasionally finds a need to test my sense of humor, and, for some reason, it chooses the peculiar locale of the Haggen parking lot for these trials.

Peter M. Hunt

With an incurable illness, no prospect of financial reward, little chance of success, brain surgery looming, and one child in college with another about to start, I was not in a position to spend thousands of dollars on a search.
