William,

Yep, fine business; that what's makes horse-racing.  And a Forum!

Now back to our subject.

Why is this thread named "the chestnut"?  Let's see, what might an old Zen 
chestnut be?  "Neither a borrower nor a lender be"?  No, that was Ben Franklin. 
 "Old pond; frog jumps in; 'PLOP'"?  No, that's one of Bassho's famous haiku.  
"The cypress tree in the courtyard"?  Nope.  "My miracle is that I cut wood, I 
carry water"?  No.  "Where there's a will, there's a won't"?  No, Ambrose 
Bierce, 101 years ago.

Not a Zen chestnut to groom, today.
