Mucho gracious, Wayne. So far my grey hair, look of total bewilderment and the
one finger wave have served me well enough. Anyone who stops thinks I need help
(profiling) and I just say I'm playing a game. Or when I show them the nano
that I drove 300 miles to find, they know they can't help!! Then tHEY are the
ones who look bewildered!! Could I have that SWAT#?
