Py,  My best wishes for a grand birthday to the Birthday Girl, and
condolences to the adults involved.  I have only boys so birthday parties
weren't as involved and elaborate as girl ones can get.

About them woodcocks, I don't know about the southern ones but up here I
have never heard of a problem with them roosting on buildings.  They are
the birds that fly straight up and then come down in a sprial to attract a
mate.  They do this at dusk, usually in fairly large fields.  I have seen
them and it is quite a sight.  Ruth

too little and it was airborn and toxic ;
come to think of it we did asbestos the same way
The Cathedral (that nobel bastion for the betterment of man ) saw the
writting on the wall in the 80's and had all thier asbestos removed by the
unemployed Puerto Ricans of Spanish Harlem 6 months before the law was
pased (put in garbage sacks and left on the street )
