Thanks, BoBY, for setting me straight about the Quercus alba fact. The oaks are a constant source of inspiration for me.

I'd much rather sip mint juleps and chat with Jackie than pace off! I'm not a fighter, but one could do worse than sip mint juleps, with Virginia bourbon or any other.

Heh, tsuwm, care to comment upon julep? Wasn't that a famous song of Tiny Tim's? "Sip So Through the Juleps?"
