Just wanted to see one post in this NG, Noel. It's become barren in my
newsgroup reader.
A knock, knock post didn't make it through Wink

Well, you could've kept all the moisture where you live. After our
Monsoon in March and April Showers, it had been very nice here ... until
today. We're suppose to have intermittent rain for the next 5 or so
days. I knew it was too good to last Sad
