In my case it was enough to turn my sinuses on full blast. Sore throat and ear infection was the overnight outcome from the drainage. So I donned at least the stocking cap even when giving tours to VIP's. Am out of that business now. But to this day I keep electric pink ear plugs in my pocket, desk, briefcase... I like the $1.78 10-pack from Walmart best. They mostly get used at highway speeds on my motorcycle. But are as handy as a stapler at the office. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
