Ahhh, yes, now I understand. It wasn't exactly a win-win scenario, but it did solve the second problem. Thanks, David.

I see that others have figured out how to send their replies to you which makes me feel even dumber than I thought I was. I did find one opportunity to send you a reply post about a week ago, but that's it--once. For now, I'll just have to piggyback on your responses to other's replies. ;-() duhhh. Anyway, I had the same experience once only I was on a bicycle! The woman in the truck actually stopped to let me go in front of her, waving me on insistently. Just as I was about to push off, a speeding car passed the truck in the adjacent lane. I would have been flattened like a pancake... the truck drive meant well but, as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Very clever, C.J.! As I've often said, "We may not know it, but we're dodging bullets every day in every which way.

Great story! I'll have to write a story about all my adventures and misadventures and the good from the bad! But my memory isn't as good as it once was!
