Gah! It happens *every* time. Will I ever learn? Actually, I did learn
something - all about the role of the 20 mule Borax wagon trains in the
extraction of Borax from Death Valley up until the advent of motorised
transport in the 1930s. Unfortunately, I doubt such knowledge is ever
likely to be of any use in everyday small talk. :-(

True, but it was interesting. Fascinating. Did you watch the one about
his cat, Smoke?
