And thanks; I'll fix it.

The thread is unfrozen.
Just out-of-topic The Kitty in the picture looks a Lot like mine, except for the eyes and a spot on the nose... I am getting naughty ideas for next Carnival... although Simba doesn't like photos and keeping quiet to allow the hat to stay put is not a probable action

This is the place to post how you defend your genre - by this we mean dodge a hit!! And sail safely away, into the sunset... until the next attack.
Avast Ye, Captains! Be sure the team mate that has deflected the hit has their designated book marked as “read” on their bookshelf.
