I found out that I hadn't been managing my Norton Anti Virus program properly, and that virus slipped thru. It took it to many on my mailing list and many addresses that I never heard of. I finally got my end cleaned up, and hope that people weren't infected by my negligence. This is what I received from somewhere: "Virus Information: The attachment COMSMD.EXE contained the virus W32.Magistr.24876@mm and was repaired." Maybe this means more to you than to me. We're doing fine. Just had an irrigation system put into the garden; 10 zones with elect. timer and rain sensor system. Lots of ditches and mess over a month, and loud radios blasting Mexican music for the installer's crew. It all looks beautiful now, so we can sit on the deck and enjoy it. No more hose dragging. Come down and see for yourselves. Love from us both.
