Thanks everybody, your comments are very encouraging..My daughter Kim Lund lives about 5 miles from me and their house was hit by a tornado, trees down everywhere, one fell on the roof..but thankfully they are safe...we are getting ready for another in the next hour...maybe delayed in comments for the rest of the day, probably will turn my computer off..
