Thanks for reminding me Pythagorean!
Happiest events to every one of you in this new year of 2012! I'm not sure if they're predicting planes falling out of the sky or meteors or if California is going to jackknife around and crush British Columbia or if several middle eastern nations are going to go ape sh*t (oh, that already happened)! But, all in all we are in pretty good shape, so far, here in North America. Let's keep it that way... it sets a good example to the rest of the countries out there!
Thank you for many things!
