You are most welcome, it was the least I could do.
As you know, we live in a quiet little valley on north side. The Salute (fireworks for you westerners) was the stuff of legend, and as the 25 minute salute ended, someone near us started singing the Russian Anthem. In seconds half the valley was singing with him. VCO was moved to tears, in her almost four decades of living in this berg, she’s never heard the likes of that.
Thanks, mod. You’ve got to look out for us tired old guys and make sure we don’t screw up too badly.
