Yes, that is fine Turq on one level, except that practically, you live in France and we live here, with a 300lbs gorrilla on the loose in the neighborhood. People here judge the situation personally, all the time. That is also in a reality of practical things of the living of the thing. Is part of the fun and also is what makes the whole story the interesting human material that it is. Have a nice day, -Doug in FF
