Oh wow!! Coincidentally enough, we just moved from Jupiter and Arapaho
ourselves in May. Actually, we lived on a small winding street called
Wheaton, just off of Jupiter. In fact, I used to catch the DART bus there
at the intersection near the Minyards every day. Talk about a small world!
LOL We lived there for six years.
Thanks for the information on the running headers. Actually, I do recall
reading about normalizing the running headers, but well..I have to admit, I
wasn't completely sure I knew what was considered a "running header". But,
now I know! :)
