Congratulations, David and Mrs. P.!
A lovely day to be born on, I can assure her.

Bob, your post made me decide to share this story. I had
not known that the British pronunciation of geyser is the same as we say geezer. My English friend was telling me about an excursion, and when he said, "halfway down the mountain there was a geyser", I pictured a white-haired,
wizened gentleman squatting there for eternity...
