Theirs, not mine.  (-:

I was thinking about doing the same thing.  Who knows what will turn up?

Yeah, it's usually about fear of the unknown.  Fear only kills the faint of
heart.

I dont want to believe that, but you would know better than me.

That's quite a story, Roy.  Thanks for sharing it with us.
