As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

Sounds good Mike. Hmm, leave Austin, swing by the north panhandle, take a little jog down to Houston - be there in a couple of hours :D.

Cowboy, I thought she was volunteering to help.  Bein' as I'm older, I've learned not to volunteer - but I often do it anyway.  As for help with knapping..  just need more band-aids..  ::)   :D
