**S** orry, but after last night’s dressing down by the OP, I had to decree that today’s breakfast would be Wheaties for everyone on the a-thread so that we might regain our strength and bone up on our alphabet. Anyone who doesn’t like Wheaties can have Alpaha-Bits instead. ---

**Q** uestion - Just what the heck is wrong with being from Philadelphia? I thought we had gotten way past that W.C. Fields gravestone business.
