Yeah, that's about what I'd call it :) :)  Though I've only written one science
fiction story in my life (g). Seriously though, I used to love to write.  One
of these days I'll have some time I guess (g).

supermarkets here in the States.. (just got back from Wegman's about an hour
ago so the 'headache' is fresh in mind (g)).

Ah, the slave force :) But you learned what were weeds and what wasn't :)

Yep :)
