   That was the last one I saw for some time.

   I agree with you.  I also note that most of my Facebook friends are local so I   
   see them fairly frequently on the street.

   I promise to take a look. :-)

    I'm going to have to take a look at Doc's Place.  Right now I post using an   
   Oracle VirtualBox running under Windows 7 and this is not ideal.   
       
   Take care,
