Mike:
OK, maybe not wimpy. ;-)

It is really a shame about our Ash trees. I've had to chop down three 
of them, too close to the house. One blew down by the wind and hit 
the house, no damage though. :phew: They were all well over 50' with 
at least a foot and a half diameter trunk. Killed by an insect 
smaller than your thumbnail.

Mike:
Considering Tommy boy was so enamored with magically powerful 
numbers, I think he was probably good at this, too. I like Carol's 
explanation - arithmetic + mancy for magic - and I bet there are 
nuances, like number combinations, which the observant wizard can use 
to his advantage.

Mike:
Hey, I got this site from Kelley. It's got a lot of fun, weird, and 
yes raunchy tests. But I've never gotten any spam from them. 

I read their, whattayacallit, privacy statement. They are very 
serious about protecting the identity and email addresses of anyone 
that uses their site. So don't worry about it PC.

Mike, crossing his fingers and toes that his words don't come back to 
haunt him, or that PC with that hexing wand can't find him ;-)
