Hey Don:

When you are as old as you and me, ALL THREADS ARE OLD &  reappear. VBG

We've heard it all, time and again, haven't we? But then again, to  
some folks it is new. Kinda like history, if we don't learn from it,  
we are bound to repeat it.

No real snow here in Chester County, Southeast PA either other than a  
dusting. My horses are still eating the pasture grass. No hard frosts  
yet to kill it, so I'm saving a bundle on hay. This is the first time  
since we've had horses, (1969) that they have been on the grass  
through December and not needing hay yet. Yeah, ask me about global  
warming. VBG.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
