Al -- to heck with spine for the moment. We're just really glad you're not all burnt up! I'd think you'd be thankful for that rain. OZ is a big continent, I know, but all one place to us foreigners. Geeze I hate hearing about all the scorched koalas and other wildlife that have no way to escape. We suffered a massive wildfire here in SW CO 6 years ago and I'll never forget, afterward, all the charred skeletons, big and small. Fire works great and is necessary in the long haul of nature, but sure is a bitch when it happens on our watch and close to home. Be well, dave
