You're right about car deals, Donuel. But, Ruth and I are heading off to South America early in September and that'll more than take care of our discretionary spending. Besides, the car we have is running fine, so we don't feel any pressure to replace it immediately. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

While I'm at it, I got an e-mail this morning which I forwarded to Mudcatters whose e-mail address I have, and Ron Davies suggested that it was worth mentioning around the table. There is a news mega-virus circulating now that will permananetly wipe out a section of your hard drive if you open it. If you get an e-mail saying that you have a greeting card waiting for you to open, DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! delete it immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turns out, Ron had just received such a notice in his e-mail but didn't open it, thank God.

Don't want to lose no table friends..
