When my grandfather was growing up, there was a "BookMobile" that came by once a week. For a nickel he could check out 2-3 books and return his old ones. There's no wonder why he's the smartest man I've ever known.

You blocked the video on my blog, so I guess I'll forget about AFP videos from now on.

That's OK. There's no shortage of videos, and if you don't want the traffic, someone else will.
