Thanks fer stoppin' by, Steve...I figgered I'd a scairt you off back yonder, boy!! Still laugh every time I go back and read your book, my FRiend...do you have a link to somewhere I can buy another few extra copies for FRiends and associates? Many of your words were quite prescient.
Thanks, dude...MUD
