thank you. really!

in exchange, I can offer a hilarious article about state birds. I think I'd nominate the allosaurus for one.

Not only hilarious, Dale, the article was thoughtful.  Good choices for the individual states.

Somewhat related, last night, David Letterman featured the winners of the Piedmont High School (just accross S.F. Bay) bird call contest.  Third prize - Gyrfalcon; second - Loon; first - Greater Prairie Chicken!  All happened to be mentioned in the article.

Paul, enjoyed your article too!

They're GREAT suggestions!!
But I also laughed until tears ran down my face.
TWICE.
In public.
the IL state bird SHOULD be the greater p. chicken-
and a lot more journalism should be written this well!
