Science is a cruel mistress...  :^)

Is that the side-to-side I saw, or his top-to-bottom 8"??

Thanks to both you and Mike.  I genuinely appreciate the way you both share
your results, and without making the less knowledgeable of us feel/look
stupid.  Besides, that is my wifes job.

Oh, Cody, I haven't forgotton your Vineyard Pic request, I need to scan a
