Congrats bald1 ! I just can't spend enough time around my grand kids. The kids represent the circle of life to both myself and my wife. I'm very happy for everyone involved.

Bytes, that's exactly the way I feel. We are in San Diego where we moved to be closer to my daughter, her husband, and our younger son. Then daughter had two wonderful little girls; then son-in-law's job moved them back to Northern California. Every day we're not with them is an unhappy day for me.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

^^^^^^^ It is always a honor when a new one is named to carry on a family member who is still with us or has passed on. ........................ drill sgt.
