...And that's the wrap for this first, official Tuesday of Summer 2011...I certainly hope it starts acting like Summer for a string of days sometime soon!...and we hope things are well where you are.  Thanks for stopping in and sorry for the stutter step in the column posting for this week, technical glitches plagued the effort last night, that's all. Have a good one!
