+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included.  Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
+of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after
+the official publication date.
+
+Please note:  neither this list nor its contents are final till
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
+
+http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03
+or
+ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03
+
+Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
+
+Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
+as it appears in our Newsletters.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we
+manage to get some real funding.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!
+
+As of June 16, 2001 contributions are only being solicited from people in:
+Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana,
+Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri,
+Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,
+Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
+Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
+
+We have filed in nearly all states now, and these are the ones
+that have responded as of the date above.
+
+As the requirements for other states are met,
+additions to this list will be made and fund raising
+will begin in the additional states.  Please feel
+free to ask to check the status of your state.
+
+In answer to various questions we have received on this:
+
+We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork
+to legally request donations in all 50 states.  If
+your state is not listed and you would like to know
+if we have added it since the list you have, just ask.
+
+While we cannot solicit donations from people in
+states where we are not yet registered, we know
+of no prohibition against accepting donations
+from donors in these states who approach us with
+an offer to donate.
+
+
+International donations are accepted,
+but we don't know ANYTHING about how
+to make them tax-deductible, or
+even if they CAN be made deductible,
+and don't have the staff to handle it
+even if there are ways.

+Why is this "Small Print!" statement here?  You know: lawyers.
+They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
+your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
+someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
+fault.  So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
+disclaims most of our liability to you.  It also tells you how
+you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
+
+*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
+By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
+etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
+this "Small Print!" statement.  If you do not, you can receive
+a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
+sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
+you got it from.  If you received this etext on a physical
+medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
+
+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works.  Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects".  Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
+But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims
+all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
+legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
+UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
+OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
+receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
+you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
+time to the person you received it from.  If you received it
+on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
+such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
+copy.  If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
+
+THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS".  NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
+TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
+LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
+may have other legal rights.
+
+INDEMNITY
+You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
+and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
+with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
+texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including
+legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
+following that you do or cause:  [1] distribution of this etext,
+[2] alteration, modification, or addition to the etext,
+or [3] any Defect.
+
+DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
+You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by
+disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
+"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
+or:
+
+[1]  Only give exact copies of it.  Among other things, this
+     requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
+     etext or this "small print!" statement.  You may however,
+     if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
+     binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
+     including any form resulting from conversion by word
+     processing or hypertext software, but only so long as
+     *EITHER*:
+
+     [*]  The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
+          does *not* contain characters other than those
+          intended by the author of the work, although tilde
+          (~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
+          be used to convey punctuation intended by the
+          author, and additional characters may be used to
+          indicate hypertext links; OR
+
+     [*]  The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
+          no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
+          form by the program that displays the etext (as is
+          the case, for instance, with most word processors);
+          OR
+
+     [*]  You provide, or agree to also provide on request at
+          no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the
+          etext in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC
+          or other equivalent proprietary form).
+
+[2]  Honor the etext refund and replacement provisions of this
+     "Small Print!" statement.
+
+[3]  Pay a trademark license fee to the Foundation of 20% of the
+     gross profits you derive calculated using the method you
+     already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  If you
+     don't derive profits, no royalty is due.  Royalties are
+     payable to "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation"
+     the 60 days following each date you prepare (or were
+     legally required to prepare) your annual (or equivalent
+     periodic) tax return.  Please contact us beforehand to
+     let us know your plans and to work out the details.

+Out of the window, and I carried the sash along with me.
+Perfect air of not knowing it to be humorous
+Ready acknowledgment of shortcoming
+Seeing them in print was a joy
+Seek companionship among men of superior intellect and character
+Sick were made well, and the well made better
+Swayed by every passing emotion and influence

+
+Absentmindedness
+Between Harte and Clemens, the whole matter was unfortunate
+Bible
+Canadian girls so pretty
+Cat having a fit in a platter of tomatoes
+Cazenova, and Rousseau.
+Communism is idiocy
+Confusions of memory and imagination
+Conscience ain't got no sense
+Consider every man colored till he is proved white
+Cynic; restrained
+Damning with faint praise
+Drawn the sting of my fiftieth year; taken away the pain of it
+Fathers be alike, mayhap; mine hath not a doll's temper
+Fear God and dread the Sunday-school
+France has neither winter, nor summer, nor morals
+Graham Bell
+Hain't we all the fools in town on our side?
+Happily, the little child was to evade that harsher penalty
+Hatred of humbug, and a scorn for cant
+Header
+Hickory-nuts
+I could a staid if I'd a wanted to, but I didn't want to.
+If loyalty to party is a form of patriotism, I am no patriot
+Lecky
+Livy, if it comforts you to lean on the Christian faith do so!
+Modest" Club
+My advice is not to raise the flag
+Operas
+Optimist
+Pessimist
+Pretty soon we shall have been dead a hundred years
+Religion
+Resenting, even when most amused by it, extravagance and burles
+Rubaiyat
+Style that is not a style at all but the very absence of it
+Symbol of the race ought to be a human being carrying an ax
+Teaspoonful of brains
+They fought, that a mother might own her child
+Under dog in the fight
+Well, it 'most kills me, but it pays
+What is Man

+Address he made at Yale College
+And now she is dead--& I can never tell her.
+And of the article: "I read it to the cat
+Been on the verge of being an angel all my life
+Carbuncle is a kind of jewel
+Compliment that helps us on our way
+Defeat waits somewhere for every conqueror
+Don't reform any more.  It is not an improvement
+Edited manuscript-by a half wit
+Embroidery line
+Every man is strong until his price is named
+Feverish desire to admire the newest thing
+Flood-tide is a temporary condition
+Genius has no youth
+God is on both sides in this war
+Good-by.  Will healing ever come, or life have value again?
+Honor is a harder master than the law
+Humor should take its outings in grave company
+I hope his uncle's funeral will be a failure!
+Immensely but unintelligently interested
+It cannot be safe for a man at my time of life to laugh so much
+Just say the report of my death has been grossly exaggerated
+Letter written in a passion is a mistake
+Man is the only animal that blushes, or that needs to
+Mind, if this is going to be too much trouble to you
+Neither the refinement nor the weakness of a college education
+Never a throne which did not represent a crime
+Only a human being, he said, could have done these things
+Only by resisting temptation that men grow strong
+Prepared and memorized a very good speech but had forgotten it.
+Preserve your illusions
+Pronounced Mrs. Clemens free from any organic ills
+Put all your eggs into one basket--and watch that basket
+Refused ten thousand dollars for a tobacco indorsement
+There is not much choice between a removal & a funeral
+What is biography?  Unadorned romance
+Whenever I enjoy anything in art it means that it is poor
+Won't be anybody for you to get acquainted with but God
+Won't you please say something funny?"

+
+THE BOYS' LIFE OF MARK TWAIN
+by Albert Bigelow Paine [mt8bg10.txt]#3463
+
+It was the 2d of February, 1870, that Samuel Clemens and Olivia Langdon
+were married. A few days before, he sat down one night and wrote to Jim
+Gillis, away out in the Tuolumne Hills, and told him of all his good
+fortune, recalling their days at Angel's Camp, and the absurd frog story,
+which he said had been the beginning of his happiness. In the five years
+since then he had traveled a long way, but he had not forgotten.
+
+"Roughing It," in fact, proved a very successful book. Like "The
+Innocents Abroad," it was the first of its kind, fresh in its humor and
+description, true in its picture of the frontier life he had known. In
+three months forty thousand copies had been sold, and now, after more
+than forty years, it is still a popular book. The life it describes is
+all gone--the scenes are changed. It is a record of a vanished time--a
+delightful history--as delightful to-day as ever.
+
+England fairly reveled in Mark Twain. At one of the great banquets, a
+roll of the distinguished guests was called, and the names properly
+applauded. Mark Twain, busily engaged in low conversation with his
+neighbor, applauded without listening, vigorously or mildly, as the
+others led. Finally a name was followed by a great burst of long and
+vehement clapping. This must be some very great person indeed, and Mark
+Twain, not to be outdone in his approval, stoutly kept his hands going
+when all others had finished.
+
+"Whose name was that we were just applauding?" he asked of his neighbor.
+--"Mark Twain's."
+
+They remained for a time in London--a period of honors and entertainment.
+If Mark Twain had been a lion on his first visit, he was hardly less than
+royalty now. His rooms at the Langham Hotel were like a court. The
+nation's most distinguished men--among them Robert Browning, Sir John
+Millais, Lord Houghton, and Sir Charles Dilke--came to pay their
+respects. Authors were calling constantly. Charles Reade and Wilkie
+Collins could not get enough of Mark Twain. Reade proposed to join with
+him in writing a novel, as Warner had done. Lewis Carroll did not call,
+being too timid, but they met the author of "Alice in Wonderland" one
+night at a dinner, "the shyest full-grown man, except Uncle Remiss, I
+ever saw," Mark Twain once declared.
+
+At Quarry Farm that summer Mark Twain began the writing of "The
+Adventures of Tom Sawyer." He had been planning for some time to set down
+the story of those far-off days along the river-front at Hannibal, with
+John Briggs, Tom Blankenship, and the rest of that graceless band, and
+now in the cool luxury of a little study which Mrs. Crane had built for
+him on the hillside he set himself to spin the fabric of his youth. The
+study was a delightful place to work. It was octagonal in shape, with
+windows on all sides, something like a pilot-house. From any direction
+the breeze could come, and there were fine views. To Twichell he wrote:
+
+"I came in with Halley's comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and
+I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my
+life if I don't go out with Halley's comet."
+
+The terms of Samuel Clemens's apprenticeship were the usual thing for
+that day: board and clothes--"more board than clothes, and not much of
+either," Mark Twain used to say.
+
+"If your memory extends so far back, you will recall a little sandy-
+haired boy of nearly a quarter of a century ago, in the printing-office
+at Hannibal, over the Brittingham drug-store, mounted upon a little box
+at the case, who used to love to sing so well the statement of the poor
+drunken man who was supposed to have fallen by the wayside, 'If ever I
+get up again, I'll stay up--if I kin.'"
+
+"Do you swear?"--"N-not for amusement; only under pressure."
+
+"When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or
+not; but I am getting old, and soon I shall remember only the latter."
+
+

+A mighty national menace to sham
+All talk and no cider
+Condition my room is always in when you are not around
+Deprived of the soothing consolation of swearing
+Frankness is a jewel; only the young can afford it
+Genius defies the laws of perspective
+Hope deferred maketh the heart sick
+I never greatly envied anybody but the dead
+In the long analysis of the ages it is the truth that counts

+Moral bulwark reared against hypocrisy and superstition

+TWAIN'S LETTERS V2 1867-1875
+by A. B. Paine[mt2lt10.txt] #3194
+
+DEAR REDPATH,--I wish you would get me released from the lecture at
+Buffalo.  I mortally hate that society there, and I don't doubt they
+hired me.  I once gave them a packed house free of charge, and they never
+even had the common politeness to thank me.  They left me to shift for
+myself, too, a la Bret Harte at Harvard.  Get me rid of Buffalo!
+Otherwise I'll have no recourse left but to get sick the day I lecture
+there.  I can get sick easy enough.
+
+I send you No. 5 today.  I have written and re-written the first half of
+it three different times, yesterday and today, and at last Mrs. Clemens
+says it will do.  I never saw a woman so hard to please about things she
+doesn't know anything about.  Yours ever,  MARK.
+
+This is the place to get a poor opinion of everybody in.  There isn't one
+man in Washington, in civil office, who has the brains of Anson
+Burlingame--and I suppose if China had not seized and saved his great
+talents to the world, this government would have discarded him when his
+time was up.  There are more pitiful intellects in this Congress!  Oh,
+geeminy!  There are few of them that I find pleasant enough company to
+visit.  I am most infernally tired of Wash.  and its "attractions."  To
+be busy is a man's only happiness--and I am--otherwise I should die
+Yrs.  aff.   SAM.

+TWAIN'S LETTERS V3 1876-1885
+by Albert Bigelow Paine[mt3lt10.txt] #3195
+
+It is interesting to note that in thanking Clemens for his compliment
+Howells wrote: "What people cannot see is that I analyze as little as
+possible; they go on talking about the analytical school, which I am
+supposed to belong to, and I want to thank you for using your eyes.....
+Did you ever read De Foe's 'Roxana'?  If not, then read it, not merely
+for some of the deepest insights into the lying, suffering, sinning,
+well-meaning human soul, but for the best and most natural English that a
+book was ever written in."
+
+Pray offer my most sincere and respectful approval to the President--is
+approval the proper word?  I find it is the one I most value here in the
+household and seldomest get.
+
+In the same letter he suggests to his brother that he undertake an
+absolutely truthful autobiography, a confession in which nothing is to be
+withheld.  He cites the value of Casanova's memories, and the confessions
+of Rousseau.
+
+And I say this also: He that waiteth for all men to be satisfied with his
+plan, let him seek eternal life, for he shall need it.
+
+Well-good-bye, and a short life and a merry one be yours.  Poor old
+Methusaleh, how did he manage to stand it so long?
+
+You are assisted in your damaging work by the tyrannous ways of a
+village--villagers watch each other and so make cowards of each other.

+
+I have seen that iceberg thirty-four times in thirty-seven voyages; it is
+always the same shape, it is always the same size, it always throws up
+the same old flash when the sun strikes it; you may set it on any New
+York door-step of a June morning and light it up with a mirror-flash; and
+I will engage to recognize it.  It is artificial, and it is provided and
+anchored out by the steamer companies.  I used to like the sea, but I was
+young then, and could easily get excited over any kind of monotony, and
+keep it up till the monotonies ran out, if it was a fortnight.

+It vexes me to catch myself praising the clean private citizen Roosevelt,
+and blaming the soiled President Roosevelt, when I know that neither
+praise nor blame is due to him for any thought or word or deed of his, he
+being merely a helpless and irresponsible coffee-mill ground by the hand
+of God.
+
+It was a presidential year and the air was thick with politics.  Mark
+Twain was no longer actively interested in the political situation; he
+was only disheartened by the hollowness and pretense of office-seeking,
+and the methods of office-seekers in general.
+
+Shall we ever laugh again?  If I could only see a dog that I knew in the
+old times! and could put my arms around his neck and tell him all,
+everything, and ease my heart.  Think--in 3 hours it will be a week!--and
+soon a month; and by and by a year.  How fast our dead fly from us.
+
+Aldrich was here half an hour ago, like a breeze from over the fields,
+with the fragrance still upon his spirit.  I am tired of waiting for that
+man to get old.
+
+When a man is a pessimist before 48 he knows too much; if he is an
+optimist after it, he knows too little.

+TWAIN'S LETTERS V6 1907-1910
+by Albert Bigelow Paine[mt6lt10.txt] #3198
+
+That doctor had half an idea that there is something the matter with my
+brain.  .  .  Doctors do know so little and they do charge so much for it.
+
+You ought not to say sarcastic things about my "fighting on the other
+side."  General Grant did not act like that.  General Grant paid me
+compliments.  He bracketed me with Zenophon--it is there in his Memoirs
+for anybody to read.  He said if all the confederate soldiers had
+followed my example and adopted my military arts he could never have
+caught enough of them in a bunch to inconvenience the Rebellion.  General
+Grant was a fair man, and recognized my worth; but you are prejudiced,
+and you have hurt my feelings.
+
+DEAR HOWELLS,--I have to write a line, lazy as I am, to say how your Poe
+article delighted me; and to say that I am in agreement with
+substantially all you say about his literature.  To me his prose is
+unreadable--like Jane Austin's.  No, there is a difference.  I could read
+his prose on salary, but not Jane's.  Jane is entirely impossible.  It
+seems a great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death.

+That doctor had half an idea that there is something the matter with my

+
+Shall we ever laugh again?  If I could only see a dog that I knew in the
+old times! and could put my arms around his neck and tell him all,
+everything, and ease my heart.  Think--in 3 hours it will be a week!--and
+soon a month; and by and by a year.  How fast our dead fly from us.
+
+I used to like the sea, but I was young then, and could easily get
+excited over any kind of monotony, and keep it up till the monotonies ran
+out.
+
+And I say this also: He that waiteth for all men to be satisfied with his
+plan, let him seek eternal life, for he shall need it.
+
+Well-good-bye, and a short life and a merry one be yours.  Poor old
+Methusaleh, how did he manage to stand it so long?
+
+You are assisted in your damaging work by the tyrannous ways of a
+village-- villagers watch each other and so make cowards of each other.
+
+
+A mighty national menace to sham
+All talk and no cider
+Approval
+Argument against suicide
+As good and ridiculous a soul as ever was.
+Buffalo!  I mortally hate that society there
+Casanova
+Condition my room is always in when you are not around
+Conversationally and being yelled at
+Could easily get excited over any kind of monotony,
+De Foe's 'Roxana'
+Dead people who go through the motions of life
+Deprived of the soothing consolation of swearing
+Die in the promptest kind of a way and no fooling around
+Doctors do know so little and they do charge so much for it.
+Frankness is a jewel; only the young can afford it
+General Grant
+Genius defies the laws of perspective
+Get me rid of Buffalo!
+Great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death
+Hard to please about things she doesn't know anything about
+He that waiteth for all men to be satisfied with his plan
+Helpless and irresponsible coffee-mill ground by the hand of God
+Heroic endurance that resembles contentment
+Hollowness and pretense of office-seeking
+Honest men must be pretty scarce
+Hope deferred maketh the heart sick
+How fast our dead fly from us
+I never greatly envied anybody but the dead
+I wonder how they can lie so.  It comes of practice, no doubt
+I am tired of waiting for that man to get old
+If this is going to be too much trouble to you
+In the long analysis of the ages it is the truth that counts
+Jacobs
+Just about enough cats to go round
+Moral bulwark reared against hypocrisy and superstition
+Never approximated, never compromised
+One should be gentle with the ignorant
+Quit sorry that Heaven makes the days so short
+Rousseau
+Short life and a merry one be yours
+Sunday is the only day that brings unbearable leisure
+Symbol of the human race ought to be an ax
+The coveted estate of silence, time's only absolute gift
+They don't run her now
+To be busy is a man's only happiness
+Uncover such a sore as that and show it to another
+Villagers watch each other and so make cowards of each other
+We went outside to keep from getting wet
+What a pleasure there is in revenge!
+What a pity it is that one's adventures never happen!
+When in doubt, tell the truth
+When it is my turn, I don't
