Oh dear, you certainly wouldn't want *that* problem. You could buy LE's just retired. Then, at the end of the year, donate them to some nice tax deductible organization at their appreciated value. (Maybe a lighthouse preservation group).

Just think of the benefits: a) you'll feel good (still important in the 90's); b) you'll help a worthy cause; c) and, you'll do your bit to speed up LE retirements which we'll all applaud! Glow purchases pale in comparison - plus there's all that guilt. LOL
