Dear all - o.k., my mind is in gear now and my face is red. I, of course, was thinking about "inventions" when I read "patents". Later I reread Mike's message again and saw that he was talking about land patents. Oh well, it's fun to have the "invention" patents too. And I wonder if there is a site for them? I got mine many years ago from a branch of the patent office down in Silicon Valley (CA) but do not have access to it any more and don't even know if it is still there.
