Thanks, Sammy - wait grungy... Hmmm. Hmm. :)

Thanks, Steve and Richey. Actually, I never really bet much on horses. My brother and I used to go to the greyhound races and bet some crazy combination bets. He won sometimes and I never did. His best advice was to bet on the dog that took a crap when they led em' out.

I always know I'm back on the Nation when I listen to you John, so much information for us newbies, so much encouragement. You are the man. Love the tune with that grungy sound you got going. Hey I'm realizing I need a comfy chair too.
