	Gene, I would hate to have to compete with you for bargains at
a swap meet. You sure don't waste any time. It's a wonder you got any
sleep at all. grins.  Here I thought Farmer was going to take the prize
because we didn't hear from you but I guess no one can beat the deals
you found this year. I'm glad to hear you all had a good time and got
home OK with your prizes. You sure have the luck of the Irish. ;-)
