Jouyouse nouelle a tout de monde, and a merry bah humbug to all. hope you like it white, I just got done shoveling two foot from a 100 foot path plus a spot for the car, somebody better get some joy of it. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
