Ron...
When are you going to get rid of that yappy little dog and get a cat? Thanks for the kind words my friend.

One final thought... In the last analysis, if your cabbage bonsai fails to win prizes at the local show you always have the option of throwing it into a pot of boiling water along with a little corned beef and at least you've got dinner. Pines taste nasty, I don't care how much ketsup you dump on them.
