Thanks for the clarification Steve, and I can't recall if I've had 2 sessions 
running over x or not.  I had a prostate biopsy this am, so it will be a day 
before I can check that as I have other things, like going after the missus's 
Jetta, which has been in the shop for one thing or another about half the 
time since I bought her that POS in May.  I was thinking a good used (58k 
miles) 2002 Jetta for $11k ought to be a good deal, but about the only thing 
that it hasn't broken is a tire.  The body work hasn't any rust, but its 
falling apart internally.

Its getting to where the word Jetta is a swear word around this campsite. :)
