Wow, the way some of you folks on the forums can research and id the most obscure things leaves me slack jawed and knocks my socks off at times! I'm 68 years old and just like the Farmers Insurance commercials thought I "knew a thing or two because I'd seen a thing or two." Man do I feel humbled and awed!
