that's great Lenny; What's the phone number for ordering? Especially the part about the post office. the local inner city train station has been letting their idiots go again. I've complained before. But the idiots don not want to pick up the floor cleaning material. So it's slippery and the material stays on the footwear onto the next surface as well. The units you mention might be helpful even there. the stuff is a challenge for my New Balance 1500s which really served me otherwise, quite well.
