No Robin, I'm not making fun at you, just trying to stimulate some thought provoking interest for everyone, Heck the list has been quiet over the holidays and we need to get active.

My family tradition is to shoot the guns at mid night we can still do that here and not have to worry about shot hitting any one. Carl ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin M.
