        The contacts came from vanagonparts.com, $12.

        My van now also has power windows.  I am working on a writeup for it.

If you have a faith, it is statistically overwhelmingly likely that it is the
same faith as your parents and grandparents had. No doubt soaring cathedrals,
stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most
important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth. The
convictions that you so passionately believe would have been a completely
different, and largely contradictory, set of convictions, if only you had
happened to be born in a different place. Epidemiology, not evidence.
