Yep, right on two counts. I have it! Most folks here just call it cabin fever. Not only is the lack of light troublesome, but we have high winds here for days at a time. Not only that, but the weather these days is going to extremes, metling the snow and ice and then hard freezing at near zero degrees F. It makes houses pop and creek. Sounds funny to hear Jones Beene talk about hummingbirds outside his window! Also, my apologies for the "numerically challenged" comment, which was a not only wrong but a misstatement of my feelings. I am, however, glad Fred Sparber is still kicking around ideas in his typically very quantitative way, and do miss some of the old timers here. Regards, Horace Heffner
