Agreed - way too slow. I worked picking raspberries and boysenberries a few years ago, and if I'd taken 9 seconds per berry I'd have been fired within hours. I'd have been averaging about 50 berries per minute. I'm not sure how many cars per library of congress that is...

But then you just keep sailing around 'til one opens again :)

The country next to Korea is Japan. Home of such things as kamikaze and even, bonsai.
