Hi all,

        Absolutely!  And, as another one of my pseudo-random signature
     tag-lines says:  '...who says "I'm still learning, and I  hope  I
     never stop."'  And, when I do stop it's probably time to "roll me
     in" and start shoveling the dirt back on top.

        And, heaven knows I'm not done yet.  I'm still having fun with
     this thing we call life and there's just too much more  to  learn
     to  give up now.  So, I guess I'll look forward to more goof-up's
     in the future. :-)  And, when I *am* done here, I know that  what
     I've learned this time will be useful next time around. ;-)

        Well,  janet  m'dear,  you  do  it so well.  To you it must be
     easy. :-)

        From  Compton's Encyclopedia On-line: "The Buckeye is an orna-
     mental shade tree that is a  popular  planting  for  streets  and
     parks.   The trees native to the United States are the Ohio buck-
     eye and the yellow buckeye. The Ohio buckeye grows in the central
     states  --  chiefly  in the Mississippi River valley and in Ohio,
     which is nicknamed the Buckeye State. The tree probably takes its
     name  from its smooth brown nut with a light brown spot, like the
     eye of a deer."

        Absolutely!   And, to make this post at least slightly on-top-
     ic, I can say that I continually try to change my thoughts to  do
     what  I can to change my PWP world.  No amazing results to report
     yet -- it really isn't as simple as it sounds -- but  I  continue
     to work on it trying to grok it in fullness ...

        Going  back  to  semi-lurk mode to try and find something more
     on-topic to post about.
