•  During the non-advertising time frame, she said, "we average 50 per day… but that is actually picking up as people become more aware."
•  Sattgast said the division has two main responsibilities: one is finding the properties out there, and the other is reuniting them with the people to whom it rightfully belongs.

Some things seem too good to be true
By Rev. James L. Snyder

• Recently I discovered something. The more I tried to keep up with the latest trend the further behind I get. I am not a complete technical idiot, but I'm not too far off. The only thing I can say about me is that I at least try.
• The best example of all of this has to do with my cell phone. Is there anybody on the planet today that does not have a cell phone? And, the most important question, is there anybody driving a car that is not at the same time on that cell phone? Who in the world are they all talking to?

• The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage finally convinced me to go into cahoots with her and get cell phones. The plan was this. She got to pick out the cell phones and I got to pay the bill. I must say I beat her on this one.

• I really think that my cell phone was designed for some midget.
