(According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, just count chirps for 14 seconds and add 40 to get the temperature F. Other formulae abound; your actual temperature may vary.)

I guess I did. And it's even worse - the last post I saw was not even DIAPERS but ASPIRED. So I can't even claim that at least you knew where I was coming from...

Ah well. Back to business, big or little.

At the present time I cannot do anything with
Decollete,

but , Doc, are you familiar with this site?
You have to use the numbers on the right hand side of
your keyboard, not those at the top of Qwerty.
Hope this helps somewhat.
