I tried to fax you my answer. It didn't work. So I guess you'll have to settle for a PM.

hehehe, the little message in the top right says... "Don't you think it's time for bed". lol. Probably right, it's 2:45 am, but, alas, I am working so I better stay awake.

My answer is totally nuts. PM sent.

It really depends on how you define "day"

And the equation changes if one of the squirrels wanders into my backyard and gets taken down by my cat Dervish.

Anyway, PM sent.
