FIBER BIN

This page is a catch-all, miscellaneous, whatever-doesn't-fit-elsewhere category, sort of like a fiber bin that collects "stuff." We'll try to organize its contents, but sorting is not an exact science, so peruse it to see if you can find something useful. (send suggestions for additions to these lists)
