OK, Amanda--that's what I get for trying to think when I'm too sleepy 
to do so.  Of *course* you're right :smacks head into wall:.  I'm a 
hide-tanner, I should have realised what I was saying!

Re your other post:  I am NOT a city person!!  I was raised partially 
in a (then) small town & partially (every day after school & on 
weekends during school year--every day during summer) on a farm.  

Peace & Plenty,
