Linda, this is funny. Who knew? Nicely done - another fascinating glimpse into the sometimes arcane world of Americana. Enjoyable read. Mark.

Hehe - still there and i remembered the password. Gyppo, I hope you don't mind me posting this here. One of Tracy's pieces read by me. I see others there but mostly dreck, I think.
