Thank you all for the birthday wishes.
And, I'm right proud to report that this "old PotLicker" feels downright lucky to share another Birthday with our good friend Hank.
A belated Happy Birthday wish to my good, and old friend!
And...Heavens Forbid, did I see "No Powder's" name on that roster of well wishers?
Miracles never end!  But, No Powder, You my friend, have come a long way Pilgrim!......Thank you for being here and sharing with the other good folks.
