Hmmmm. I'm retired from another occupation, have grown children, will never see 50 again, believe in having a bit of adventure now and then, not a grouch, and am able to buy toys with the sweat of my brain. If that sweat isn't in demand, I don't buy toys. So I suppose well heeled is a relative term. I also try not to buy retail! Glenn -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Glenn Wm.
