[Shop-talk] automotive connector breakout wires

[Steven Trovato]

Right.  I don't have one of those near 
me.  Honestly, I don't know how it is possible 
that these still exist.  In a world dominated by 
lawyers and insurance companies I would think the 
risks would be too great.  "No customers allowed 
beyond this point" in the shop, but sure, go 
wander around on your own in this field full of 
sharp things and precariously balanced big heavy 
things.  What could go wrong?  Of course, I still wish there was one near here.
