Thanks, Grand! I truly appreciate the entertaining and informative nature of your story, and I like the way you think---and that is why I enjoy the story so much!

I got a good chuckle about the interloping rafters.... and I can identify with Charlie and his protective attitude. I have enough daughters to where that almost got to be a normal expression for my face, when they were teens :)

Thanks again!

Well this could be a make it or break it time for Hassan. It would be really great to see him "get it" and work with the law to close down this cell of Muslims.

When the calander "rolled over" to the new centry i.e. from 1999 to 2000. That was a period when there was extreme concern all computer controlled anything would crash cause the computers were not programmed for that particular date change. Many, many computer tech companies were working many months in advance of that time to correct the erroneous programming and apparently were 99% successful.

What most failed to realize is us geeks made a ton of money off of it because we had already handled it in 1969 for the big banks and their thirty year mortgage notes.
I know with my chosen software of choice for programming, it was handled internally by the software as long as you coded using the Date Format for your field in the mid-80's.

That was why Y2K was such a non-event.
Most of the panic was in billing / invoice applications.

The above quote was the inspiration of my previous question regarding "roll over". I have seen the term used before in this context but am not clear what it means.

Thank for the great jokes folks!
