Forgive me for cover two posts with one:

Eric, it has been twenty years since I lived at Santa Clarita. Charming place... great spot for sightseeing most of the areas north, east and west of L.A.

Tracy, thanks for sharing your thoughts about the VE. I have so much to learn... and so little time to deploy what little seeps into my over-active mind. I have a friend who is something of a whiz-kid at Band in a Box down in San Diego. I hope it serves you well.

Regards and thanks to you both, ----Dave
