Good read . I rarely have to use IDictionary directly though and it seems to me that handling such objects directly may in some cases indicate bad design . BTW The CSS on that page shows white code with drop shadows on white background . Windows 10 . 0 . 14393 . 448 Mobile Edge <| sep |> My grandma told me this story . When she was a little girl , there was no TV and only a few people had radios . Her family would walk to a house to listen to the radio on Saturday nights . The walk was through some woods . They lived in the mountains in Georgia . Walking home one night , her uncle was carrying her , and her siblings were walking along beside them . They heard something walking behind them and stopped to listen a few times . Her uncle stopped again and finally got a look at what was following them . It was a mountain lion . He wanted to set my grandma down and have his hands free in case it attacked . My grandma didn ' t want him to put her down and pretended to be asleep . They walked home slowly , and the big cat followed most of the way , until their dogs came from the house and began barking .
