    thanks for that, and if I might add a line

    Thirty years ago HS grads. could read and write and there was money to pay for the school system.

    Today with 'no child left behind' HS grads. struggle to read and write and we struggle to try and figure out how to pay for the school system that has less kids than 30 years ago.

    You're on a roll tonight Matt! You've got me cracking up with your humor tonight!

    30 years ago I was 1 1/2 years old. I was almost ready for my first rifle. [:)]
