@surlyshirley yes, I missed a Wussy show. They played Asbury Park last night and my brother assumed I would know, because I'm telepathic.

@kimmieblessing baking soda and water for the battery terminals. The alkalinity counteracts the acidity of the corrosion.

@epersonae thanks; I know the techniques. I'm just worried that the client's front end people don't, so we don't use them. :-P

wonders if there has ever been a more twisted pop song than Nick Lowe's "Mary Provost". "She was a winner/who became the doggie's dinner"...
