And I thought I was nerdy... Boris, you need that cup of tea! :) That sort of "numerology" can visit one's brain either after some convoluted mixture of alcohols or before the morning cup of tea. :-) By the way, - I didn't manage to interrupt racoons. As Miserere noticed, they saw me (about 1-2 meters behind the glass), and didn't care. This morning the roof is covered with snow (that's about 4th time over ~3 years in Texas that I see a layer of snow on the surface), which is nice to observe from inside of a warm house.
