Probably going to milk this for a long time. Have to steer clear of this and moo-ve on to another thread.

Would be nice to have a 'group hike' for your 100th which probably isn't that far off! Amazing! Funny stuff, James...

I didn't know that the human is susceptible to "MAD-COW" disease. How long does the simptom last? I hope that everyone gets well without any prolonged side effects or permanent damage to their body. The TR picture was very informative. But, I can't ask any serious question after looking at those COW pictures. Enjoyed them very much. Shin
