I found a website that lists diacritical and accent marks using the ALT+number keys.....I was just playing around with it.

There are no rules about it them at all, other than what's in my head. They are not allowed in the tech forums, but I keep one open anyways to give y'all a place to play. Call me a rebel. I generally try to keep them around 40 pages....but I was off line for 9 days so the last one got a little long.

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome home and the compliments. I really appreciate it. Without question the best vacation I've ever had. For the first time ever we were not ready to leave when it was time to go.

I was at the grocery store in Wrightsville last week and there was a silver F-250 lifted and rolling on 37's with 6" mitre stacks in the parking lot....really sharp truck. Anybody want to claim it?

Yeah Scott, I love the tan ya get in the stinking desert out there... "cept this time I'm going back bald so I better keep my cover on!

And Brandon, I will wholeheartedly agree with you there- about the only thing I miss about NY is the food, oh yeah, and Striped Bass fishing. You just can't get good pizza out here in Californigay....
