My Grandpa had a dog named Zero :-)

Was he a Japanese diplomat?

well, I found the story mildly interesting on a slow day. Of course, as a
lay-person, you could have no way of knowing that they were storing the aged
documents in archival-quality manila folders. Look just like the cheap-ass
kind at a glance. Only the real pros get their hands on them for
Jeffersonian era documents and suchg. I'm sure the file cabinets are
climate controlled as well......
I return you to your continued abuse,

Well, that makes me feel better...it ought to help prevent the Monroe
Doctrine from getting moldy...the men's room was out of towels, and
since they got SO touchy about the Declaration of Ind...er, nevermind...

not to worry, those were just cheap knock-offs.....they keep the original in
a Mason Jar in the pantry. Pranksters they are, I tell you!

p.s. all this subterfuge over aging artifacts reminds me of an old-timer
from Cape Cod who told of the locals spending all winter making
antiques for the summer tourists!
