I really do need to proofread a little better before clicking "send." The store for the file was only 2 miles away, not 22, and I asked SWMBO to get a quart of motor OIL, of course, not a motor. I doubt if you guys care either way, but it really upsets me and embarrasses me to screw up something so simple.
